Collectively we have over 80 years of coaching experience!! This is the first year this amazing staff is together at Danny Jones. The Lady Bulldog Athletic program aims to develop great teammates who reach out to ONE another, act as ONE family, and make every ONE of our minutes count!!
We want to have winning seasons and teach girls to compete on the court or field but more importantly, we want to teach kids how to win at day-to-day of middle school life. We strive to make a positive impact not only on our athletes but on all students. We believe young women can learn so much from being an athlete such as overcoming fear, frustration, and any obstacle in her way.
Athletics teaches young women to be strong and confident in who they are. Because our Lady Bulldog staff has a heart for developing strong women, we have high standards; we strive to work with our athletes and hold them accountable to meet those standards.
Parents, we are a support system for you also. We will work with you to hold your athlete accountable, develop responsibility, and help her navigate the murky waters of middle school. We invite you to come out and support girl's athletics on the court and field throughout the year.
Beginning Thursday, September 9th, all games require a ticket from Ticket Spicket. CASH will NOT be accepted at the door.
Students must have an adult present to attend games.
