About Knights Basketball

Our Mission

Knights Basketball strives to provide a high quality educational and athletic experience for each athlete, including the opportunity to:

Learn and achieve in a positive coaching environment
Contribute meaningfully as a valuable member of the team
Learn life lessons that will have value beyond the playing arena
Develop fundamental skills and learn effective game strategies
Have fun playing the game

Team Goals

Each knights basketball team provides a season-long learning experience where athletes are encouraged to value:

Effort – first and foremost, and at all times.
Learning – as a season long (and lifelong) goal.
Mistakes – as valuable learning opportunities.
Teamwork – and the power of “we” over “me.”

Coaches

Our coaches understand their critical roles in helping us deliver upon our mission and goals. All of our coaches are certified as “double goal coaches” by the positive coaching alliance. We provide learning opportunities for our coaches, so we can become better teachers of the game.

Program Priorities

At Knights Basketball, we pursue priorities that positively impact player enjoyment, including:

Honor the game – show respect for: rules, opponents, officials, teammates, and self.
Communicate positively – creating a better learning environment and more enjoyment.
Experience high school athletics – We provide opportunities for our players to experience high school basketball, and to meet local high school players and coaches.
Athletic training – We provide athletic training, so our players can achieve improved strength and athleticism, and can learn the value of personal athletic training for advanced athletes.

Program Details

Knights Basketball is a volunteer organization, open to all girls and boys in 3rd – 8th grades.
Knights Basketball is a competitive “travel” program, and players are selected based upon current ability to be successful at the travel level.
Roster sizes are generally 10 players, some teams may have a slightly larger roster but will only dress 8-10 for games. Some teams may offer practice player positions at a discounted rate.
Teams play up to 30-45 games, depending upon age level.
The season runs from mid-October thru February early March.
Teams practice twice each week, on weekday evenings. One practice will be a skills practice lead by Breakaway Basketball (see tab) and one team concept practice. Teams may have additional bonus practices during the week or weekends.
All home games and most practices are held at our home court at the Oak Brook Family Recreation Center.
Player fees range between $790 plus uniform/practice jersey/bag.
