Practices & games
Halo practices are packed with instruction and fun!
– 5-year-olds practice for 30 minutes prior to their game on Saturday.
– All other teams practice one night during the week for 45-60 mins depending on the age.
– Coaches select their practice time and location on a first-come, first-served basis from a variety of gyms around Wilmington.
The atmosphere at Halo games is how youth sports is meant to be!
– Players and their families are encouraged to be competitive and keep perspective.
– Our games are run by the Halo Rules, designed especially for young players to grow with the game.
– Every player gets time on the court in every game.
Teams usually play at the same one or two gyms on Saturdays.
– 5- to 9-year-olds cap the season off with a high-powered Celebration at the UNCW Trask Coliseum.
– 10- to 18-year-olds compete in a thrilling single-elimination tournament.
