This division is for players attending kindergarten and 1st graders as of 12/31 of the current year.  Please note, when registering your child, kindergarten = grade 0, pre-k=grade -1. The objective of this division is to teach participants the fundamentals of the game.  While players are on "teams" the focus is more on practice and teaching than playing full games. During each session, there will generally be time set aside for a "game" at the end of the session, typically with another team sharing the gym, but this age group is more focused on learning while having fun. This division is non-competitive, there are no standings recorded. Generally, this division is not coed.  Attempts will be made to separate the players into teams based on both gender and age in order for an entire team to be at a similar level of learning. Participation trophies are awarded to all players and each player will receive a Hillcrest t-shirt.. Teams are selected, generally 10-12 players per team. Schedules cannot be set until coaches are selected, teams are formed and field permits secured but generally, there is one session on Saturday for this age group (60 minutes). The sessions for this level of play take place with an "instructional rim" which can be lowered to approximately 8 feet.
