Practices will occur Monday - Friday between hours of 5:00-9:45 pm. Each team will have a variety of times through the week usually between 1-2 hours in length.

January - will be released by Monday, December 9th

February, March - released TBD

From time to time there is extra gym availability that comes available for teams to schedule extra practice. Head Coaches are responsible for reaching out to secure this extra gym time. First come, first serve basis, reach out to the Facilities Coordinator to confirm.

Any specific scheduling requests, please email the Facilities Coordinator below. This does not guarantee you that the request will be honored, but will be taken into consideration.

Here are a couple reminders as we start practices and use our partner facilities:

1. Be respectful of your scheduled practice time. Stay off the courts until your team’s start time. The building monitors ask that you do not dribble or play in the hallways. Conclude practice at your scheduled end time.
2. Be respectful of our partner facilities by cleaning up your court when your scheduled practice time ends. All water bottles, snack wrappers, clothing, equipment, etc. This is the biggest complaint we hear at the board each year from our partner facilities. You MUST have an adult present to enter the gym facilities.
3. Check over the schedule for your practice times and facilities. If there is an issue OR need to cancel a practice, please email the Facilities Coordinator ASAP or within a minimum of 48 hours before scheduled practice time so we can work with the partner facilities to reschedule or receive a full refund if cancelled.

Here is the list of tournaments for the 2024-25 season.

Here are some important facilities reminders and instructions and player development format for this season. Please read and save this for future reference.

Shared Practices

Due to lack of facility space this season, there will be weeks where we have shared practices with another grade level (or within one) team. You will notice a * as the indicator on the practice schedule for a shared practice. Example: Hope 3* For the shared practices, you can choose to each take a half court or combine teams for the entire practice. 

Player Development Training

Reid Ouse Catalyst Training - we will have Catalyst Training sessions at Hope Fieldhouse this season. For all of these training sessions, the practice time length for the entire night will be two hours. Each training session will involve two teams on one court. You will either have the training session for the first hour on Court 4 and then move to Court 3 for a shared practice for the second hour. Or a shared practice on Court 3 for the first hour and training session for the second hour on Court 4. On the practice schedule, you will see two line items, Example: Monday 11/4 - RO Hope 4 - 5:15-6:15 pm and Monday 11/4 - Hope 3* - 6:15-7:15 pm Make sure your team's parents understand that the players attend both of these practices on a given night. All coaches should be involved in the training sessions and assisting/coaching with the trainer leading the practice. Feel free to give suggestions based upon your needs for your team.

MN School of Basketball - all training sessions will be hosted at the MN School of Basketball location in Apple Valley. Each session will be one hour in length. All coaches should be involved in the training sessions and assisting/coaching with the trainer leading the practice. Trainers will want to know what your team's needs are and will tailor your training session to fit your needs. Please openly communicate with the trainer prior to your session starting.

The first practice of the night, one coach can enter the main doors (will be open until 5:15 pm) and then open up the side door for others to enter. Please prop the door so the next team can enter throughout the night. If you are the last team practicing on the night, please make sure the side door of the gym is closed and locked.
