Skills Day is for grades 1-8 only. High school and kindergarten players will be assigned to teams in December.
Please arrive with your child at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled time, to sign in. Players will then enter the gym and participate in stations involving basic basketball drills. It's fun! Parents will remain outside the gym, unless they are willing to help run the drills with the coaches. A brief talk may be given, answering common questions.
All Grade 1-8 players are expected to attend. Children who do not attend cannot be drafted by a coach, but will be randomly placed on teams after the draft
The skills to be assessed will be basic and fun, not something for your child to be nervous about. Holding a skills assessment helps the coaches create evenly experienced/talented teams during the draft process. All teams will be made of combined skill levels; no one is "cut."
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO WORK THE CHECK-IN TABLES!
Students can also receive service hours for this, as long as a parent volunteers with them. Please reply with your availability. Thanks!
-- We look forward to seeing you at Skills Day --
