-Thanks to those who participated in the Rockets' 2012 Regular Season. We increased from 2 teams to 9 teams within a year. Due to the large increase in participants, all teams were first year teams this Season. We are proud to say, each team had the opportunity to play a Tournament Championship Game this year. This is hard to do for 1st year teams going up against AAU, YBOA, and USBA competition. We thank all who made this year successful for our players. Especially our coaches, Team Representatives, other parents who volunteered their time to assist in making this happen for more than 120 players in our program from Cabarrus, Rowan, & Mecklenburg Counties(NC). We had no intentions of increasing to so many teams this year, but you as the community asked for it and we responded.- We also sent the 10th & 7th grade teams to USBA Nationals this year. The Teams played well. Thanks to all involved with making this a positive experience for the players.

-Our educational and athletic program operates under Rowan-Cabarrus Future Leaders Association(RCFLA). The Rockets also thank you for supporting us this season.

-We are also accepting interest in new coaches. All coaches must be able to pass a criminal background check. Playing and/or coaching experience preferred.
