HOW HB ELITE SPRING SEASON WORKS:

• THE HB COMMITMENT: FROM MID-NOVEMBER TO MARCH, FAMILIES WILL BE COMMITTING TO PRACTICING 1- 2X PER WEEK, AND PLAYING IN APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 7 WEEKEND DOWNSTATE TOURNAMENTS FROM MARCH TO END OF MAY.

• THE HB DIRECTORS WILL CONDUCT EVALUATIONS TO SELECT NORTHERN MICHIGAN'S TOP EIGHT TO NINE PLAYERS FOR THE HB ELITE BLACK TEAM. THE HB ELITE BLACK TEAM WILL HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING TWO FLEX PLAYERS FROM THE HB ELITE GOLD (SECOND TEAM) FOR PRACTICE AND TOURNAMENTS WHEN NEEDED. THIS FLEX MODEL ALSO ENSURES A 10-PLAYER ROSTER FOR MOST PRACTICES AND TRAINING.

• THE HB PARENT/COACH PHILOSOPHY: PLAYING TIME IS NOT GUARANTEED AT ANY TOURNAMENT OR GAME. IT IS GUARANTEED IN TRAINING AND PRACTICE. OUR HB COACHING PHILOSOPHY IS TO PLAY THE TOP COMPETITORS / PERFORMERS EACH GAME, DEPENDING ON MATCHUPS, WHILE ALSO DEVELOPING PLAYERS WHEN THE OPPORTUNITIES PRESENT THEMSELVES. FOR EXAMPLE, IF AN OPPOSING TEAM IS FULL OF FAST, QUICK GUARDS, COACHES MAY ELECT TO GO SMALL AS MANY BIGGER PLAYERS ARE STILL LEARNING TO HANDLE THE PRESSURE, PACE, AND DECISION-MAKING OF DOWNSTATE BALL.

• HB'S MISSION IS TO FOCUS ON DEVELOPING PLAYERS IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES FIRST THROUGH CONSISTENT HOOPS PROGRAMMING, PRACTICES, AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS JUST AS MUCH AS THROUGH DOWNSTATE TOURNAMENTS AND GAMES. WE THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR HB MISSION TO CHANGE THE STATE OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN HOOPS.

• Tuesday Skills
