Friday Extra Basketball Sessions for Gr. 7/8 Boys and Girls

Fridays, After School Basketball Extra Training/Games Sessions for Gr. 7 & 8 Girls and Boys. This is an optional program for our Basketball players. Reminder to those who play… If you want to get better at the game of basketball, then you need to put in the time and take advantage of extra opportunities that allow one to build skill and work on their game. If one want to creates “Magic” in the game of basketball, then they need to be willing to do the work that is required to build the mechanics that could eventually produce the “Magic”/skills/level of play that they are looking in the sport. Do the Work! Come and join Mr. Smith on Fridays after school to work on your game. The Program begins this coming Friday, January 6, 2023. 

*** Please note: Athletes who join the Friday Extra Basketball Sessions will need to listen to announcements each day and check this Blog and the Schedule on a regular basis.
