Basketball Update

Hi Everyone,

 

I will be posting the team list some time today. I have kept 24 boys to make 2 teams of 12. I have to say this has been very difficult for me. My intention when I started this program 4 years ago was to have any kid who joined playing basketball. I love the sport and I wanted kids to be able to play a sport that some may not get a chance to play.

 

However, I did not expect it to get this big, and it has become impossible for me to coach that many kids. I would not be doing it justice.

 

I know some kids are going to be upset and I feel terrible. My suggestion to the parents – there is a wonderful basketball program in Summerside called “Sting”. It is a great program and if your son loves basketball and did not make this team I highly suggest you see if you can enroll your son. It not that expensive and the commitment is many 2 times a week depending on the level.

 

Any students who did not make it, I hope to see them out next year. There was a lot of grade 6 boys who will all be gone next year.

 

Boys that did make it. Practice will be Tuesday 3-4:30 pm. (sometimes 4 pm depending on what my own kids schedule is).

 

Games will be against Athena and Miscouche. I will be putting a schedule together this week. Each school will host and parents are expected to drive their kids to the games.

 

If you don’t think your son can commit to this please let me know ASAP before I post the teams.

Thank you
