Our first day will be Saturday, December 10th at Jackson Day School. Plan on your daughter being in the gym for around an hour and a half the first Saturday! On this day we will draft teams/honor teammate requests, hand out uniform tops and schedules, assign coaches, and begin teaching our motion offense.

For the following 6 weeks, girls will report each Saturday morning for 40 minutes of professional skills training followed by a 40 minute league game. Every effort will be made to honor all teammate requests - but not if the request causes teams to be unbalanced. "friendship will not overtake fairness"

FAQ: What if we cannot attend the first day evaluation?
No worries! Your daughter will be placed on a team, your schedule and roster will be emailed to you, and your daughter's jersey will be waiting for her at the gym the following weekend

Who will be training my daughter - coaching her?
Coach Johnson, Jackson Day School's varsity boy's coach, has impressive basketball experience - but also has the ability to teach and motivate young players. He will handle the instruction/drills each league day. We rely on parents to volunteer to sit on the bench with the girls during our games. Positive spirited adults with a love of serving are encouraged to sign up to coach!
