We are excited to get back after a two week winter break. Hopefully, everyone is recharged, rejuvenated, and ready to blow through the next three months. There will be lots going on at SMS in terms of basketball and volleyball opportunities for all grades, so check the details below.
Gr. 6/7 Basketball Starts this week…
Gr. 6/7 Boys’ Basketball …

AM Monday and Friday Gr. 6/7 Basketball will begin Tomorrow Morning (January 8, 2024) … Just show-up on-time ready to go…
Gr. 6/7 Girls’ Basketball …
Mondays and Fridays After School … Please check back in the next few days for more up-to-date details … The Girls’ Program will begin on Friday this week.
***Participants in our Gr. 6/7 Basketball Program must wear proper gym shorts, t-shirt, and running shoes… Basketball Shoes or a good court shoe are strongly suggested. Joggers, running shoes, trainers are not great shoes for basketball and they don’t provide the support that a young, developing, growing athlete requires when playing the game of basketball. Please keep in mind … Good does not mean expensive. Both of Mr. Smith’s sons wore affordable basketball shoes from Walmart (Shaq Brand) when they were first starting out. A good heal lock and grippy sole of on-court performance is all that is needed. Runners/joggers/trainers were not constructed and meant for court activities.
Reminder… 5 Ways to Develop Mental Toughness and Resiliency …
1. Get up Early… when the alarm goes off, don’t hit the snooze … get out of bed…
2. Make Your Bed as a Habit… as soon as you get up make your bed - perfectly! Start the day with a Win!
3. Do Work… Attend AM Open Gym or if not, do push-ups, sit-ups, etc…
4. When the School Day is Over… Study First … If you have early Bball Practice, then study after practice… If you have late Bball Practice, then stay at school, attend Study Hall and Do Your Work… Read, Re-Read, Write, Re-Write, Review - That’s what homework is…
5. Eat Something You Don’t Like Regularly… as a Habit… Mr. Smith doesn’t let tomatoes be tougher than him… He still doesn’t like tomatoes, but he eats them anyway…
Why do all the things above … because they are usually the last things you want to do… Do the things that you don’t want to do, but that are good for you, and make them a part of your Daily Habits… That’s how one Develops Mental Toughness.
