Knights Basketball – Boys
First Practice: October 21st, 3:15pm-5:00pm
Teams:
Junior Knights
3rd grade boys will be allowed to join practices. Our opponents’ lowest competing age level is 4th or 5th grade. If the B team is short on numbers, we will invited 3rd graders that show game readiness to play with the B team. Game readiness is not based on skill level, rather an ability to follow directions in practice and stay focused.
B Team or A Team
The B Team is made up of 4th-5th grade players and the A Team is made up of 6th-8th grade students.
Practice
The teams will practice together. There will be a shoot around immediately following the school day. At 3:30pm, organized practice will begin and end at 5:00pm. Practices are on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday school days.
Co-ed Season
After the Christmas break, the girl’s season will begin. One of our opponents, St. John’s Neillsville, runs co-ed teams. The boys will have a couple of practices scheduled with the girls to prepare for a home and away game with St. John’s. Those games have not been scheduled yet.
Coaches
Christopher Brunner (church council member) and Ansil Williams (sons at St. Paul’s in 7th, 5th, and 3rd) are coaching the teams and would be happy to have additional assistance.
