ES Basketball

Welcome to another exciting J.R. Falcon basektball season.  I trust your students are looking forward to an enjoyable time of learing new skills and competing in games.  As our practices get underway, we want to emphasize the importance of being prepared for each practice and being on time; this mindset teaches personal responsibility and commitment to the team.  Practices begin right after school on the elementary outdoor courts (for 5th grade, practices are either on the elementary outdoor courts, the middle school outdoor courts, or in the MP or gym-tba). Practices on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are from 3:30p-4:30p (5th grade still is until 4:45p); Tuesday practices are from 2:30p-3:45p.  Students are to meet their coaches at center court by 3:15p (2:15p on Tuesdays) for check-in.  Dress should be comfortable tennis shoes and warm clothing (due to being outdoors in cool weather). Students not picked up by 5:00p will be taken to davcare.  I look forward to working with you in making this another wonderful basketball season.  Below are listed the teams and the days each team practices:
