Welcome to our website which is designed to keep you informed of the activities of the Cave Spring Knights 11U Boys Basketball Team. 

Photo below shows our team from last season when we competed at 10U. 

Our players come from the Cave Spring Recreation Foundation Basketball League and attend Back Creek, Bent Mountain, Clearbrook, and Penn Forest Elementary Schools.  Players for our 10U team were chosen by the seven recreation league head coaches as the mostly highly skilled and motivated players in the league.  Our 11U team may be chosen from tryouts as a number of other players have shown an interest in joining our squad.  Our program is geared towards placing kids in an environment that will challenge them to grow both as a player and a person.  This is a highly competitive program.

The first practices of the year have been set.  We may have to have tryouts depending upon the number of returning players from last season.  No more than 12 players will be on the squad, no more than 10 players will dress out for any game.   Selected players may be asked to join the practice squad.

See the "Practices" or "Calendar" button for a full list of upcoming practices.

In order for the Knights to participate in the Future Stars League we must provide 3 volunteers every weekend. 

Volunteers must fill the following needs:

1)  Score Book Keeper - each HOME team must provide the official score book.

2)  Clock/Score Keeper - each AWAY team must provide someone to run the clock and score.

3)  Gate Admissions - There are 3 games played on each court, every Saturday.  Each week we will need one parent from our team to work along with a parent from another team during one game.  You will not be assisting when our team is playing (we will play in two out of three games).

Ideally we will appoint specific parents to oversee the the score book and clock for every game and then have different volunteers each week to collect money at the gate.  Let Ron know ASAP if you have a specific date(s) you'd like to reserve to volunteer.

A new Roanoke area basketball league has formed and will begin play in late October 2008.  The Future Stars 11U Basketball League will be composed of six area teams including the Botetourt Sonics, Cave Spring Knights, Franklin County Wolfpack, Hidden Valley Titans, Roanoke Lightning and the Vinton Wasps.  Ten regular season games will be played on October, 25, November 1, 8, 15 & 22.  A post-season tournament will be played on December 6.  Each team will play two games on Saturday afternoons between and 2:00 and 5:00 PM at the Edge Sports Complex (next to the Roanoke Airport).  The focus of the league will be to develop skills and to promote sportsmanship.  A Champion will be determined in the tournament and a league All-Star Team will be selected.  The league will help players and teams prepare for the AAU season which begins on December 13.

The mission of the Cave Spring Knights Basketball Club is to provide boys with the opportunity to develop their overall game and increase self-confidence by creating an environment where they can learn, grow, improve individual skills, develop character and compete against some of the best athletes in our region.  We will provide a well-organized, high quality basketball program that offers advanced instruction in basketball fundamentals and team play concepts.  Our instruction along with participation and exposure in competitive tournaments will help prepare our players for the next level of their careers. 

We believe the challenging practices, competitive games, team-building, travel opportunities and friendships created will help these kids develop leadership, confidence, problem-solving and people skills that will assist in all aspects of their lives.
