The Top Flight Basketball Academy is less than a week away from beginning its eighth season of instruction and competition for Mountain Home students in kindergarten through sixth grade. The 2020-2021 season will have its first session on Monday.
Preparations for this year’s academy have been different, mainly due to COVID-19, and Top Flight commissioner Matt Martin says the process has not been easy.

One of the major changes to this year’s academy is the group of students taking the court first. Participants in kindergarten through second grade had been leading the academy around the beginning of September in the past, but Martin says that wasn’t the case this year.
Listen:
The third and fourth grade boys’ sessions will be on the campus of Mountain Home Junior High School, and girls in the same grades will be at Pinkston Middle School. For fifth and sixth graders, the boys will be at Pinkston, and the girls will be at the junior high campus.
The cost for this year’s academy has been reduced to $40 for each participant to have five sessions, a jersey and a basketball. In addition, there are opportunities available for scholarships. Registrations will be accepted through the first day of sessions.
Martin says as difficult as it has been to prepare for this year’s Top Flight, it will be worth the reward to see the kids having fun and learning the fundamentals of basketball.
