We are thrilled to introduce Jonathan Scott as the newest addition to our team at SoCo Basketball. With his remarkable basketball journey and wealth of experience, Jonathan brings a unique perspective and invaluable expertise to our organization.

 

Jonathan’s roots in the SoCo community run deep, as he was a former player who hails from Colorado Springs. Growing up in this vibrant basketball culture, he honed his skills at Lewis Palmer High School, where he led his team to multiple state runs and even secured a well-deserved state championship. His leadership and determination on the court set the stage for an incredible career.

 

After high school, Jonathan continued to pursue his passion for basketball, playing at Otero Junior College and the University of Tennessee Chattanooga. His collegiate experience further refined his skills and provided him with a deep understanding of the game.

 

Following his playing career, Jonathan returned to Lewis Palmer High School as an assistant coach, where he shared his knowledge and mentored aspiring athletes. His commitment to coaching and developing young talent was evident in the growth and success of the team.

 

Not stopping there, Jonathan embarked on his entrepreneurial journey, becoming the owner of “Just 4 Dreamers.” This venture, which will soon become a subsidiary of SoCo, has empowered young athletes to pursue their dreams and reach their highest potential through mentorship and specialized training programs.

 

Now, as our co-owner, Jonathan’s unwavering passion for basketball, his connection to the SoCo community, and his expertise in coaching and business development will undoubtedly propel us to new heights. Together, we will continue to foster a positive and inclusive environment for players, coaches, and fans alike.

 

Join us in extending a warm welcome to Jonathan Scott as he joins the SoCo Basketball family. We are excited to witness the positive impact he will make and look forward to the future accomplishments we will achieve together.

 

Coach Brian Blanc

SoCo would like to thank our previous SoCo Commissioner, Brian Blanc, who did a tremendous job the past couple of seasons helping us reemerge after Covid. His leadership and presence was invaluable to us.  We appreciate his friendship and his contribution to our organization. We look forward to Brian continuing as an ambassador for us.  Well done, Brian!

 

Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we embark on this new chapter of growth and success.

Southern Colorado Basketball (SoCo) is a locally owned organization that emphasizes good sportsmanship and fair play.  Throughout the year, SoCo offers numerous different basketball opportunities to kids and teams to include leagues, tournaments, and camps.  Integrity and character are attributes that are fostered through the time spent participating in SoCo Basketball.

 

League Information:  The SoCo League is available to teams interested in taking their skills to the next level.  Coaches who have either a boys team, or girls team in grades 4th-8th (during the present school year) can sign up their team for our fall and/or spring league.  Both leagues include an eight game regular season that leads to a single elimination tournament.

 

There are no admission fees for spectators during the 8 regular season league games. SoCo provides the organization for the league, all game sites, referees, t-shirts (not uniforms), awards for the tournament winners and insurance for games.  SoCo will also provide liability insurance for facilities at which your team practices and plays. This is included in the cost of SoCo. Teams must be registered or related the SoCo league or tournament for the insurance to be effective.  If you need your practice facility covered, as an additionally insured facility, please contact us. The spring season usually starts the 1st weekend of April.  Games are not played on Easter Sunday or Mother’s day weekend.  The deadline for registering a team is around mid March. Spring games are played on Friday evenings, all day Saturday, and Sunday after 12:00pm. The fall season starts around the 2nd weekend of September and runs through late October.  The deadline for entering is in early September.  Fall games are played Saturday afternoon and Sundays after noon.

 

Teams may have one or two games scheduled per weekend.  In consideration of family planning, all schedules will be given out prior to the first game and are established for the remainder of the season.  Coaches must watch a mandatory video held prior to each season to discuss expectations. If a particular division has 10-14 teams +, SoCo may split the division into either the Gold or Silver division.  The Gold division will be for more advanced teams, and the Silver for teams still developing. We do expect the Silver division to be very competitive as well. We can help you decide which division is best for your team.

SoCo offers basketball camps to individual kids.  Typically SoCo operates 2-3 camps per summer.

 

SoCo typically offers one summer basketball tournament in conjunction with the annual Rocky Mountain State Games. This is usually held the second to last weekend in July.
