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 "Rage
in the Cage" tournaments on April 12-13, 2008 and on May
17-18, 2008.
Congratulations!

New Haven on May 6th and 7th. Well done ladies.
