Extra Thoughts from Parent-Player Meeting

There were a couple thoughts that came up after the meeting that needed to be addressed.

1) Varsity practices will be open practices. We invite anyone who would like to watch, to come see our practices. We only ask two things if you plan on attending. 1...Please don't talk to the players. We need their full attention for the 2 hours we are on the floor. 2....please turn cell phones off. Cell phone rings in an empty gymnasium echo very loud and can cause a distraction during practice.

We will provide extra practice plans for anyone who would like to see one at practices.

2) Football players are going to be given time off after football season ends. We would like all players to report by the scrimmage on the Saturday after the football season ends or anytime prior to that. We have home scrimmages on Nov 13th, & 20th. Depending on when the last football game is, we would like players to report by that Saturday or anytime in between the last football game and the Saturday scrimmages.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at hmckinniss@jcs.k12.oh.us.

Open Gym-Week of 10/25/10

The open gym and weightlifting schedule for the week of 10/25/10 is as follows:

Tuesday: 3:30-5:30**

Wednesday: 7:00-9:00

Thursday: 3:30-5:30

**Don't forget about the Parent-Player meeting at 6:30 in Room 110 @ JHS on Tuesday.

Mandatory Parent-Player Meeting-October 26th, 2010

We will hold our Mandatory Parent-Player meeting on Tuesday, October 26th, beginning at 6:30pm in room 110 at JHS. All boys and their parents, grades 7-12 interested in playing basketball this winter need to make plans to be in attendance.

Beginning at 6:30, a representative from Dixie Sporting Goods will be in attendance to give parents and players the opportunity to purchase Nike Basketball shoes at a discounted rate. There will be 3 different shoes available for purchase at a 30% discount from what you can purchase in stores or online. The shoes you will have the opportunity to purchase are the "Nike Hyperdunk 2010"-$88, "Nike Zoom Soldier IV"-$77, and the "Nike Air Max Hyped"-$62 and can be viewed by clicking on the following link or copying and pasting to your browser address window and scrolling down to pages 14/15/16: http://www.niketeam.com/v2/new/PDF/HO10/HO10_6_M_BBall.pdf. Any shoe purchased from Nike through Dixie Sporting Goods will be replaced at no cost if the shoe should go bad for any reason. We will be wearing the red/white versions of each shoe and the price listed on this page is not the price we will pay. Players do not have to purchase these shoes. These shoes are a cost effective alternative to store bought shoes, but are the same quality you will find in stores or online.

This year, Roundball is holding the Reverse Raffle again. Just as in the past, we will be asking players to sell tickets for this. If a player sells 1 ticket, they will receive their travel gear for the season and will be able to keep this. If a player sells 2 tickets, Roundball will also pay for their shoes. This is Roundballs one major fundraiser for the year and it takes everyone participating to make it a success! You do not have to sell tickets to get travel gear and shoes, but you will be asked to pay for it out of pocket. Angie Eisnaugle has a list of patrons who purchased tickets last year and we will share this list to get tickets sold this year.

Once shoe sizing and purchasing is complete, we will begin the meeting part of the evening. There will be packets passed out to all grade levels that will include program rules, expectations, practice schedules, and game schedules. There will be a Roundball meeting following the Parent-Player meeting that anyone interested may stay for.

We are very excited about the season being near and we look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday night!
