Little Mustangs: Boys & Girls, Grades 1 & 2

Little Mustangs

This is Where it all Begins

The Little Mustangs Program is designed as an introduction to basketball for for 1st & 2nd grade boys and girls. It is a non-competitive program that allows everyone an opportunity to explore their interest in the sport of basketball.

The purpose is to introduce the basic and fundamental skills of shooting, passing, dribbling, and team play. Boys and girls play separately with 8-10 players on each team organized by home address, elementary school affiliation, and friend/coach requests. 

The season consists of one practice and one game per week except during holidays and MVBA tournament weekends. Here are the Little Mustang game details:

  • Games are 4 on 4 with eight (4-Minute) running time periods.
  • Basket height is 8 feet and the basketball is 27.5 inches.
  • Scores are not kept for Little Mustangs games.
  • During half time all players participate in a non-competitive skills challenge.

The Little Mustangs goal is to provide equal playing time, in-game education, and a fun learning basketball experience for all players regardless of skill level.
