Middle School Basketball Overview

Coaching middle school basketball presents some unique challenges because players possess a wide array of talent and experience. Some players have very little experience and they need youth level drills and coaching. Other players have already had extensive experience and will be much better than others. We will be sure to provide skills geared for both youth and more advanced levels. However, all students who are part of the Owls Basketball team will participate in games and practices. Students signing up for any athletic team are making a commitment for the full year. Once the season for the athletic sport has concluded for the year, team members will be working on fitness and conditioning during the off season. Students will be expected to dress out everyday during 7th period athletics. No exceptions. (See required uniform in handbook) Games are held in the school's gym or at other private schools' gyms.  At this time, games are played against other private schools in the area and transportation is provided by the parent for all away games.
