Thanks!

I would like to thank all the numerous Coaches, Board Members, Age Group Coordinators, Volunteers, Parents and Kids; which without everyone’s help and participation these programs could not succeed.

So please be sure to sign up at registration as a Coach, Assistant Coach, Age Group Coordinator or Committee Volunteer in order to keep our program a success.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or issues you may have. I am always open to new and better ideas to make EVAA Basketball the best it can be!
