The mandatory basketball meeting will be held on November 2nd at 5:30 pm. Practice and game schedules will be handed out at the meeting. Students should attend so they can pick their uniforms. We will have three teams this year, A girls (5-8), B boys (5/6), and A boys (7/8). We exhausted all avenues to field a B team for our girls. They will have opportunities to play a few games against girls their age. More info will be discussed at the meeting.
Basketball practices will begin the week of November 6th.
Students in 5-8 grades are able to participate in basketball. Students must be committed to the season.
Academic Requirements – In order to participate in sports, cheer or clubs, students must:
1. Maintain a C- average in basic subjects.
2. Have a passing grade in all classes.
3. Be present for the last four hours of the day of the game, or have pre-scheduled appointments approved by the principal.
4. Not be under any suspension or expulsion.
These academic requirements pertain to basketball, cheer, Science Olympiad, and archery.
Failure to meet these requirements on the mid-quarter or quarterly report card will result in ineligibility of extracurricular activities for a period of four weeks upon issuance of the report. After four weeks, if requirements are met, the eligibility is reinstated. If not, ineligibility continues until the next report card. Grade check for ineligible athletes will be November 20th. The student may attend practices, but may not participate in events (games).
Athletes must have a current sports physical and copy of insurance card on file. Players will not be able to practice until they have their physical. Physicals are good for two years.
Archery practice:
Archery will begin at the end of November. More information will be sent home with students closer to date. Practices will be on Mondays at 3:00 pm. Due to the popularity of the archery program, we had to limit the number of students that we can safely supervise in the gym. We can not have more than 20 students. This year, grades 7-8 may participate in the archery club after school. Coach Walker will be coaching archery.
