IMPORTANT BASKETBALL INFORMATION FOR GRADE 7 & 8 BOYS’ TEAMS/PROGRAMS THIS WEEK

 Players and Parents, please read the information posted on the Gr. 7 Boys’ Basketball Page and the Grade 8 Boys’ Basketball Page. There schedule changes this week due to Mr. Smith having a dentist appointment on Tuesday morning - first thing and our Gr. 8 Boys’ Team is hosting a Semi-Final Play-Off Game Tuesday night, playing in another Play-Off Game on Wednesday night… So, Please read the posted information in the Pages above.

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.
