Terminators Basketball, a youth club travel team, has launched its winter/spring season with league and tournament play.

The team, composed of players from Agoura Hills, Oak Park and Westlake Village also announced its sponsorship roster. California Do-it Centers and the Agoura/Oak Park/Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce are supporting the team as contributing sponsors, and Sue Ruttenberg of Coldwell Banker is an assistance sponsor.

The T-Men, as they are also known, are playing in a competitive league in the Impact Basketball organization. The team features three players with prior experience: returning starter Alexander Forney, Spencer White and Cooper Shepherd. New players include Kyle Kellenberger, Sean Pawlak, Dylan George, Tyler Banning and Nick Glaser.

The Terminators have coined the expression "Basketball Played Hot" to reflect their style of play which features a running offense and a physical defense.

"This is a tough and fast team," said Coach Michael Forney. "They love to battle, and when they get their hands on the ball they are down court in a flash. This is a very skilled group. Our challenge is to teach them to use that skill and play with intensity and determination."

The team is still open to new players, both male and female. "If a player is willing to work, is eager to learn and wants to experience real competition, this is the team to join," said Forney.
