Join us for this league for 6th-8th graders to play for their school. This is for players who did not make the middle school team this winter OR chose not to try out. This will allow these girls a chance to still play for their school, but in an intramural setting. We will allow 1 non-HVS team to join as well so we have an even 4 teams for games. Each team will consist of 10-12 players from their school. Registration will close Wed, Jan 14, by then everyone should know if your child made the middle school team or not. Registration fees will not be collected until Fri., Jan 9, that way if you register now and your child makes the team, you do not have to pay the fee until tryouts are completed. We would like to secure 2 coaches per team and in lieu of paying the coaches, we will waive the entire registration fee for each coach for their time. If you are interested in being a coach for one of these teams, please respond accordingly during registration. If we are able to secure a non-parent coach, we will compensate them for their time. Scholarships are available, as needed as well. Please contact us at Shannon.Loso@hvs.org for those details. Practices will be Mon, Tues, and or Wed from 6-7:30 p.m. or 7:30-9 p.m. at your home school (if possible) and games will be on Thursday nights at one of the HVS middle schools. The season will run January-February; congruent to the Middle School Girls Basketball season.
