Just For The Fun Of It

Below is the St. Lawrence College Men’s Basketball Schedule for this season. They are hosting their annual tournament this weekend so if anyone knows how they did last night, and when they play today please post a comment on our Facebook page. The team plays exciting basketball and the games are always fun to watch. Coach Smith’s teams and the college have always been strong supporters of our program and I encourage you to support them too.

END OF LEAGUE PLAY

This week we received a donation of two new leather basketballs from George Billings. George now lives in Florida, and for many years he coached in our program. His son Adam and daughter Mandy also played in the league, and the family continues to follow us on Facebook. Thanks George for this very generous gift!

If you are a registered player and you have not heard what team you are on by Sunday at noon please let me know through this page or by e mail at roland.billings@sympatico.ca and I will notify the convenors.
Thanks

A reminder that there is no activity for players this week. We have the coaches meeting on Wednesday, where teams will be distributed and practice times assigned, and in the days following that players will be told which teams they are on and when they practice the week of September 28- October 1.

On September 23 we are also holding a rules clinic from 6-7 pm at St. Pat’s for any interested parents and players. Basic rules with our league applications based on age group and skill level. We would like all coaches to attend this clinic as well since the coaches meeting will be held right after.

Sarah Morris (registration form 51) is registered in the Girls Division, but we do not have a contact phone number for her. Without one we will not be able to let her know what team she is on later this week. If anyone reading this knows Sarah, please ask her, or her family, to call me at 613 548-8790, or e mail me at roland.billings@sympatico.ca.

On Wednesday September 23 there will be a Rules Clinic for interested parents at St. Pat’s from 6-7 pm. We will review the essential rules of basketball that are used in the league, and answer your questions to clarify interpretations. This will not make you a referee, but it will give you good background to help you understand the game. It is recommended that all coaches attend this clinic since our coaches meeting happens right after. See you there!

The Little Gals Division is now full, but we are still taking names for the waiting list. Please email roland.billings@sympatico.ca with the player’s name, date of birth and a contact phone number to get added to the waiting list for this division.
There are still a few places on the Graduate Division waiting list as well. All other divisions are full, and we are taking no more names for this season.

Here is the schedule for player evaluations this week.These sessions are to help us assess the skill level of players so that we can help balance the teams.
*Please note that the players on waiting lists DO NOT come to evaluation night.

*All ages are the ages that the player will be on April 1, 2016.

*With the exception of the Graduate Division as noted below, all sessions are at St. Pat’s
