Tournaments

We are getting ready to submit entry forms for tournaments, but need to determine which ones to attend. In order to do that we would like to find out from families what their intent is when it comes to tournaments, as we know they are a big time and money commitment. Last year we entered 4 tournaments...this year we plan to participate in at least four, but splitting the team in half so that the girls get more playing time. If you can respond with your commitment level, that would help us determine where to go from here. Also, reminder that practice tonight is just 7-8pm. Please come find me as I will have you sign the participation waiver for tournaments to get it out of the way. Thanks!

• 4 tournaments ($48/player)
• 5 tournaments ($60/player)
• 6 tournaments ($72/player)
• Do not plan to participate in tournaments $0/player)

Monday Practice [11/17/14]

Practice will be shorter next week due to conferences. Also, Bill is hoping we can start Monday night practices earlier in the future (last year we couldn't as the boys varsity had to practice later as their coach had to travel from Moorhead). We will keep you posted on this.

 

"The elementary girls bb program on Monday, Nov. 17th will run from 7-8:00 p.m. because the boys varsity team will have late practice due to parent teacher conferences. 

 

Thank you,

Bill G."

Scrimmage TONIGHT in Breckenridge

Just a reminder about our scrimmage in Breckenridge tonight. It is at the high school. Please be dressed and ready to warm up by 6pm.

• 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
• 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
• Do NOT bring your own basketball to the scrimmage - they will have balls to use and it is too easy to lose their ball among the school balls
• Please be dressed and ready to go by 5:50pm; warm-up starts at 6pm sharp
• The girls will be practicing offense, defense, and OOB plays, scrimmaging and ending with some shooting drills

Parents are welcome to stay and watch, but it will be tight, so seating is not guaranteed
