Who We Are
All New Organization
ELCO Raiders Youth Basketball began anew in the 2023 season! With the assistance of ELCO Head Varsity Coach, Mr. Conners, we have an all-new board made up of devoted parents who know and love the sport. Our new beginning began with a vision of what recreational basketball should be, and a foundation was established in the best interests of all participating student athletes! This is the first year that the boys and girls organizations will collaborate to streamline the league. Despite the fact that boys and girls will play individually, the purpose is the same: to learn and enjoy the sport!
Building Strong Beginnings
The basics are the key to success! The primary purpose of this program is to assist student athletes in learning the right techniques and basics in order for their skills to flourish and be built upon. Strong curriculums have been put in place that are centered on what each age group needs to learn and practice. Coaches will be trained on this curriculum as well in order to ensure that all players are learning effectively. The focus is proper technique, age-appropriate rules, and having fun!
A Brighter Future
We want nothing more than to see our kids succeed both on and off the court. Team sports can help you develop a wide range of life skills, including teamwork, sportsmanship, social interaction, healthy competition, confidence, and communication. We also work hard to instill qualities such as leadership, time management, discipline, respect, commitment, accountability, and healthy habits. Today's students are tomorrow's leaders!
