Our Gr. 6/7 Boys’ Basketball Practices begin January 6, 2025, the first day we get back from Winter Break. A Registration form and a Fee form were sent home with interested players before the Winter Break. If a student did not get a form, or has misplaced the form they received, they are to see Mr. Smith asap. Registration and fee payments are due next week.
Please note that all players must attend every practice and stay for the entire practice. Players who miss practice or leave early from practice will not play in games. Please read “SMS Boys’ Basketball Standards and Core Values” - Click on Tab at the top of the Home Page
Players must wear our SMS black PE/Gym Shorts and our SMS grey athletic t-shirt to practices and games. If they have not already done so, players can purchase both the shirt and shorts at the office. If payment is an issue, the athlete should see Mr. Smith during the day - before school, at lunch, or during breaks … Mr. Smith has some lender SMS Athletics wear that he can lend to our athletes for the basketball season.
Practices:
Mondays 2:40 to 4:15 … After School
Wednesdays 2:40 to 4:15 … After School
*Players are strongly urged and encouraged to attend Early Morning Basketball Sessions on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings. Please note that these Early Morning Sessions are Optional; however, if a player wants to get better, improve their skills, and knowledge of the game, then putting extra time into their individual development is the only way that will happen.
*Parents and Players … Please read the SMS Boys’ Basketball Program’s Standards and Core Values (Click on the Tab at the top of the page to access). Now, to uphold these Standards and adhere to our Core Values is a Process and very long Journey for many; however, when held to a set of ridged Standards and exposed to a set of Core Values that promotes growth, development, leadership, teamwork, and community, individuals have a greater tendency of achieving greater success. Yes, it’s going to be very difficult for many and many will struggle, fail, and find obstacles along the way; however, it’s through those things that are difficult and our failure that promotes our growth and development.
