Middle School Basketball
Attention Parents:
Box Elder Schools is and has been working on a plan with other schools in the area to create a schedule of games for our Middle Schoolers (both boys and girls), because they did not get to participate in their regular season within the 9C due to COVID concerns. With that being said, our practices will begin Monday, March 8, and first games will begin the week of March 15-20.
Box Elder Schools is going to require that the parents drop off and pick up their students for practices. The only exception would be if a student was onsite for school, and that student stays for tutoring or a separate activity, then that student would only need to be picked up after practice on those days.
Boys practice plan:
Monday and Wednesday - 5:30 to 7:00PM
Girls practice plan:
Tuesday and Thursday - 5:30 to 7:00PM
***Friday practices may take place depending on games scheduled.
If you have any questions in regards to Middle School Basketball, please give AD Rosette a call at 352-4195
