With the Volleyball season wrapping up this weekend, there is a lot of excitement at NVSS! The basketball season is about to begin!
All junior girls will practice together this week until the two teams have been selected. We want to put together the strongest team possible for the upcoming season so we will be running joint practices until we pick the two teams. Please note that the posted practice schedule for the season will not take effect until the two teams have been selected.
All girls in grade 9 and 10 are encouraged to attend practice at NVSS gym on Monday morning from 7-8:15 AM, and again after school from 3:30-5:00. Wednesday we practice right after school (sharing the gym with the junior boys).
Please be aware of the practice schedule - I am sorry but any players who cannot make morning practices should plan on trying out for the Grade 9 team!
We are planning a long and eventful season this year. Here are our expectations:
Players will need to be committed to the team, and plan to attend all regularly scheduled practices and games. Players are expected to inform the coach in advance if they cannot make a practice or a tournament. Players are expected to be positive and supportive of their teammates. Players are expected to keep up their grades in class - student athletics is a privilege which is earned by effort on and off the court. Players are representatives of their community and are expected to behave appropriately when travelling. Because of the extensive travel involved, all players who make the Grade 10 team will be asked to pay a fee to help with team expenses. The grade 9 team will also be asked to pay for any travel outside our school district. Players who do not make the payment will not be allowed to travel with the team. SNIGS will not travel until they have taken care of their obligations at the office.
