All coaches have successfully completed the same clearance check procedures as the teachers in the district.
The focus of our league is instruction of fundamental basketball concepts, teamwork & skill development. Our practices provide all players with the opportunity to improve from the beginning of the season to the end & each player will have the opportunity to execute their learned skills in game situations. While we keep scores & records our league focus is for the players to improve throughout the season. Based on experience, those players that adhere to this concept will unquestionably improve their skills on the court.
Play Hard. Play Smart. Play Together.

Penny Wars Students vs Staff
During the week of May 12-16th the students and staff will be having a penny war.
Each penny is worth one point and counts “positively” toward a group’s point total; each silver coin or dollar bill gets points based on its value (a nickel is worth five points, a dime is worth 10, etc.), but counts “negatively” toward other groups’ totals. So in a competition between classrooms, students who want their class to win will place pennies into their own buckets and place nickels, dimes, quarters, or dollar bills into other classrooms’ buckets. In some penny wars, dollar bills are counted positively along with pennies.
The money collected from this fundraiser will go to buying prizes for our school wide behavior program.
Thank you for your support!
