Our philosophy is to teach our players the game of basketball and have
a fun, positive experience. Our program's motto is simple - "play
basketball and have some fun"! We stress basketball fundamentals.
We will participate in 6-7 Regional Tournaments. Tournaments will be in the "A" division
and usually have a four game guarantee. The CT State AAU
Association Tournament, as well as other CT AAU club tournaments will
be included. Middlesex Rage will host the "Rage
in the Cage" tournament on April 24-25, 2010.
