Scrimmage in Hawley [ TONIGHT ]


I'm sure your girls needed no reminding about the scrimmage tonight (6-8pm), but just in case, here are a few reminders on what to expect and plan for:
  • Please bring a filled water bottle (there will be quite the line if we all have to fill them when we arrive)
  • Make sure you have tennis shoes that can be tied tightly and they prefer if you keep this pair as your indoor pair, but understand if you only have one set (bb shoes do work best, but nobody is expected to purchase them, especially at this age)
  • Wear other shoes to the gym and change so that shoes are free of dirt/water/snow
  • Wear your Hoopsters uniform from last year if you can; if it does not fit or if you are new to the team, wear shorts and your Team56 shirt as it is the same color (we will be placing a clothing order after the 2 scrimmages)
  • It is ideal to have a small bag/tote for their warmups/pants/sweatshirts, water bottle and shoes...things get misplaced very quickly with 3rd-6th grade all together in one gym
  • We recommend NOT bringing your own basketball to these 2 scrimmages - we have plenty to use and it is too easy to lose their ball among the rest
  • Please be dressed and ready to go by 5:50pm; warm-up starts at 6pm sharp
  • The plan we received is that we will be practicing offense, defense, and OOB plays for 40 minutes and then will scrimmage, ending with some shooting drills
  • Parents are welcome to stay and watch, but it will be tight, so seating is not guaranteed
