Girls Basketball

Hello Parents and Student-athletes,

Thank you for your interest in this year’s Girls Basketball Team. Chris Martin is coaching the 8th grade team and  Brent Morton will be coaching the 7th Grade Team. Girls Basketball at Greenfield Jr. High is a cut sport. Athletes that made the team last year are not guaranteed a spot on the 8th grade team. Tryouts begin Monday January 5th  and will conclude Friday, Jan. 9th. Students will get a letter on Friday the 9th at the end of the day letting them know if they made the team.  Athletes must be cleared through registermyathlete.com prior to trying out. A sports physical is required for eligibility. 

I will be choosing players for the team based on a number of criteria. The main areas in which I will be assessing athletes are:

-attitude

-effort

-coachability

-basketball skill

-school grades & behavior

Student-athletes that make the team will be expected to maintain good grades, model exemplary behavior, and attend practices/games. 

Tryouts for 8th grade will be before school from 6:30-8:00 7th grade will be after school, from 3:45-5:30. Athletes should make it to as many try out days as possible. 

 

Here is the schedule for the week of tryouts:
