We are excited to announce that we will begin our reopening of Midwest 3 on 3 programming. 

Phase 1 will allow up to 10 athletes/coaches per court with no-contact. This also means we will not allow sharing of basketballs & will enforce 6-feet distance between athletes/coaches.

The following policies, practices and conditions are set forth to incorporate guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), and the federal Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) into our daily practices at Midwest 3 on 3 programming. Knowing that eliminating all risk is impossible, Midwest 3 on 3 is committed to providing an environment that is as safe and healthy as reasonably possible for all staff, athletes and families. To that end, we have developed the following Safety Procedures and Preparedness Plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continually monitor the COVID-19 pandemic; and as it evolves the below policies and procedures will be modified. Any changes to the policies and procedures will be sent in writing to all staff and families.

All staff & athletes/parents will be required to read this document and sign the Waiver/Letter of Understanding prior to participating in any events with Midwest 3 on 3.

MBT Class Schedule

We are excited to roll out some shooting classes coming soon along with our June training schedule. As an FYI, regardless of the stay at home order, we will continue to have a few online training classes on a weekly basis throughout the summer. 

April is the official start of the "offseason" for basketball so I wanted to touch base with a couple different documents for the AGTBA players to use in the offseason to get better as players and to get ready for next season!

Our high school girls are using the theme "Kaizen" for the offseason. It is a word that means "steady improvement"...our hope is to get 1% better everyday for the next 7 months anyway possible! That doesn't just mean getting on a basketball court indoors for AAU or open gyms. Anything can get them 1% better. Jumping rope, stationary dribbling, form shooting, and much more! 

One of the documents is a "daily challenge" 5 days a week for the months of April through August. The challenges are quick and simple, but also great for the girls to get 1% better. The girls can certainly add more to these if they would like.

The other document is a made shot chart the girls can use for the offseason. The girls can print this off and record on it for each month! This is great to help them see their hard work and commitment and how it can help them grow as a player!

We plan on having our summer camp brochure sent out in the next week or so as well. I hope you and your family are healthy and doing well in all this craziness. Take care and reach out if you ever need anything!
