At this level, focus is on skill development, learning the fundamentals, and gaining confidence on the court. Practices and games teach the basics of basketball while encouraging teamwork and enjoyment of the sport. Playing time will be more evenly distributed to so each player can learn through game experience.
7th & 8th Grade
As the girls progress into junior high, we place a greater emphasis on competition and preparing players for high school basketball. Playing time will vary by skill level, effort in practice, and performance during games.
We’re excited to see the growth of all our players this season and appreciate your support as we help them develop both their skills and love for the game.
