Last Open Gyms of the Summer! Next Week!!

Hello Everyone,

Sorry for the delay with the gyms - I was told by our administration today, that they will be ready to go next week, which gives us one week to have a couple more open gyms prior to the dead period/moratorium that begins on August 1st. Apparently the Mapleton Jr and Diamond fork Jr gyms are in the process of getting refinished at this time as well, so that has not been an option either. Let's plan on two final summer open gyms next week, on TUESDAY and THURSDAY, from 7-9pm, like we have done throughout May and June. Hopefully we can have a good turnout, since these will be the final open gyms until the end of September. On August 1st our mandatory 8 week moratorium begins. What that means is the coaches can not coach, and players are not allowed to used school facilities for playing basketball (They can still come to lift weights, etc. - just not play basketball). Players can still get together on their own to play however, if they so choose, at facilities other than the school. Obviously we would encourage them to continue playing in order that their skills do not become rusty.

Lastly, speaking of lifting weights, please remember that the weight room is open for our players, Monday-Thursday, from 9:30 - 11:00 am. We have only had 2 or 3 girls showing up on a regular basis to take advantage of this time. I would like to see that improve - if our players can increase their strength, that will certainly help us improve next season in numerous ways.

We hope to see everyone at our open gyms next Tuesday and Thursday!

Thanks,

-Coach
