GRADE 6-7-8 GIRLS’ AND BOYS’ BASKETBALL INFORMATION

 We are asking that all athletes, who are playing basketball at SMS this year, purchase “SMS Black Athletic Shorts” from the Main Office as soon as possible. We are asking players to wear their black SMS shorts to practice and to all games. We also require athletes to wear an athletic t-shirt and proper basketball runners. Players are not to wear long pants, or hoodies when practicing and playing in games. 

Proper basketball runners, with a good heel lock, are crucial when playing basketball and on the basketball court. So many young athletes, who we have coached over the past several years, and who wear “joggers” or “skater shoes” have sprained their ankles… and many on a regular basis. Proper footwear helps with health and safety, and wearing clean indoor shoes (never to be worn outside the gym) helps to keep our “hardwood floor” clean and in good shape. 

Again, thanks for your support.

BASKETBALL FOR GRADE 6&7 GIRLS AND BOYS IS DELAYED

 At this time, the SMS Athletic Department is delaying the start of our Girls’ and Boys’ Basketball Programs. Grade 8 Boys’ Basketball will continue; however, all other teams and programs will be delayed until further notice. Please keep up to date with Athletic information by checking this Blog frequently. As soon as we have more information and details, we will post the updated information. 

In the meantime, it is expected that all of our students - particularly our SMS Athletes - follow all health and safety guidelines and procedures, as well as all school and classroom rules and expectations. We expect our Athletes at SMS to be good role models and positive leaders in and around the school, and within our Salmon Arm Community.
