Week 1 Highlights: Elite Training and Our First Skills Champion!

Written By Coach B

🏆 Featured: The Weekly Skills Challenge Winner

Every week, we push our athletes to compete in a specialized "Skills Challenge" to test their fundamentals under pressure. This week, the court belonged to one player.

CHAMPION: Nazavier (Nazzy)

CHALLENGE: The AIR21 Speed Relay

Nazzy set the tone for the entire league, demonstrating elite speed, tight ball control, and high-IQ navigation through our obstacle course. He took home the hardware this week, but the target is now on his back!

📊 Game Day Recap

While we faced a high number of forfeits due to a busy tournament weekend in the region, the gameplay we did see was intense.

  • Game of the Week: The Wolverines secured a dominant 12-4 win over the Bearcats. Both teams showed incredible heart and adjusted well to the fast-paced 3v3 format.

  • Standings Update: Due to forfeits, the Cuse, Hoosiers, and Bearcats have also picked up early season wins.

A Message on Commitment: We expect a full house next weekend! Commissioner B will be contacting all teams this week to confirm rosters. To keep the competition high and the development fast, we need every athlete on the floor.
