We will have two teams that will consist of 5-6 grade girls and another team made of 7-8 grade girls with 20 spots total. The keys to making either of the teams is:

Attitude: Having a positive mental attitude, the ability to focus for two hours and respect for themselves and adults.

Basic basketball skills: Dribbling, passing and shooting the ball. - If your child cannot shoot the ball over the rim, then start practicing now to increase strength and confidence in time for tryouts.

Grades: Grades are a priority and being on the team is a benefit not a right. Students with low grades will not play.

Between now and tryouts, please make sure your student is working hard in the classroom and improving in areas that they need help in. Grades are always the number one priority at Discovery. Athletes must have a C or higher to be eligible to play.

Discovery athletes are held to a higher standard of behavior and represent the school in and outside of our walls. There will be a zero tolerance for behavioral issues which can result in missing games or removal from the team.

Games will be coordinated closer to the start of the season. We will try to play as many games as possible. Practices will take place after school and based on the coach's schedules and will range from 2-3 nights per week. Once the season starts there may be less practice but our time will be replaced with games.
