MUSTANG BASKETBALL CO-ED TEAM
Ages 13+
The Mustangs are ready to hit the court and get back into action. We will work on the fundamentals as well as work towards competitive team play.
If enough female athletes register and want to do skills rather than compete on the co-ed team, we will try and make this an option.
It is our intent to compete against other area teams. Doing so will be dependent upon Covid-19 restrictions and transportation availability.
GOALS: Increase overall physical fitness, gain knowledge of individual basketball skills and team strategy, and improve team cooperation.
