Clinic: The format for the league is once a week, Saturday, for 75 minutes. Specifically, 45 minutes of skills, such as dribbling, passing and shooting, and 3v3 for the remaining 30 minutes. Teams are created each week to ensure a competitive balance. The 3v3 format provides more "touches" for players which contributes to a better overall experience.
