In grades 4-8 Community Leagues, we continue to develop fundamental skills as we focus on the value of teamwork. We continue to focus on developing skills such as footwork, dribbling, passing and catching, shooting, defense and rebounding. Our primary goals focus on ensuring that the players have FUN, and improve their skills and understanding of the game over the course of the season, so they continue to develop a passion for basketball. A structured league is played at most levels. Games are officiated by local high school students who are learning to referee. Teams typically have one weeknight practice per week, and one game per week on Saturday. All players participate equally. Friend requests are not allowed. Teams are selected by player evaluations and draft process. All players are expected to participate in mandatory evaluations. Some leagues may be combined with, or play Community League games with neighboring associations. Balancing competition is the priority in selecting teams. Common jerseys give a sense of community and promote good sportsmanship. There is an opportunity to purchase professionally developed team and individual pictures. Season will typically run November into March, culminating with an exciting season-end tournament.
 

Boys grade 4 and grade 5 teams, will compete in Community Leagues with all Chanhassen and Chaska teams.

Equal playing time is required and enforced, however CAA coaches are afforded a degree of latitude to temporarily reduce court time for players who display a distinct lack of commitment to the team. Coaches are required to communicate the specific reasons for court time reduction to the player and parents in a respectful manner, and to work with the player to help rectify the situation quickly. Coaches must keep CAA Basketball leadership informed of any reduced court time situations.
