5th & 6th Girls - Blue

Our standard practice times will be:
Monday & Wednesday at 6 pm for one hour and Sunday 12:30pm - 2:00 for 1 1/2 hours in the new gym.

Please have your player at practice 10 minutes ahead of time so we can start promptly.

January will be a very busy month, in the past two seasons the 5th / 6th grades played approximately 12 to 14 games in January. In the past two years the 6th grade averaged 18 games for the season including tournament play.

The season will end with a league tournament. Our win/loss record during the season will determine our seeding. All tournaments are double elimination.

After all the teams are finalized the league schedule will be posted at www.SPALSports.com. Our practice schedule will be adjusted to accommodate our game schedule in January.

** Please don't hesitate to discuss your player with us in order to help the team and improve our ability as coaches to maximize their God given gifts. **

We highly suggest that each player where "quarter top" or high top basketball shoes, dark blue gym shorts (their PE shorts are fine) and a T-shirt. We will be playing with a 28.5 size basketball and a 10 foot goal and I strongly suggest your player has a basketball to work with at home. Each player needs to have individual drive to practice on their own if possible. The games this year will be even more intense than last year. Most of the girls stay active during the year, so stamina shouldn't be too much of an issue. Ball control, dribbling, passing and shooting is something they can work on their own. Practice.... Practice.... Practice!!

Note that schoolwork is always first and if our player has to miss practice due to individual study needs please prioritize accordingly - just let us know as it does effect how we outline our practice schedule.

One last thing....... Prepare your girls to be ready for a good deal of running at practice.

Thanks for the pleasure of coaching your child and we will do our best to make this a memorable year.
