Legends Rec Basketball League

The Legends Development Basketball League, Previously the Rec Basketball League, will serve as an opportunity to introduce boys and girls to team basketball while developing those who aspire to play for the Legacy Club Program. Volunteer parents will coach the Development League at the direction of our Director of Player Develop Coach Fox. All teams will have 8 practices and 8 games. Each week will have a practice day and a game day.

New league features:

4vs4

  • Provides more spacing for athletes to explore and exercise individual skill
  • Provides more clarity on the floor for athletes to make reads and run plays
  • Increases the number of touches for each athlete on offense
  • Reduces the potential for collisions No-score Games
  • Not keeping score reduces the potential of the score influencing effort and emotion
  • Not keeping score incentivizes coaches to focus on player development and less on winning games
  • Not keeping score will condition Legacy athletes to play regardless of the score

Master Trainer – Coach Fox is a former college coach of ten years and is approaching 20 years of youth basketball skill development. For more information and questions contact Coach Marv Fox – 313.727.9435
