Boys+Basketball

If you are interested in playing basketball, this is what you need to know to get started:
An email will be sent to all parents (more than once) with a registration link for after-school athletics. Only parents will receive the message including the link. However, students will receive updates on registration dates without the registration link. The deadline to register is January 24, 2018. If you miss the deadline for whatever reason, please visit Mr. Hernandez in M401 to discuss registering late. To keep you informed throughout your the season and the entire school year, the MS Athletics and Activities group on Schoology will also post updates on all athletics information. If you are not a member of the group, contact Mr. Hernandez for the access code to join. 3:15-5:00pm || First day of practice March 20 || Last day of practice: May 11 ||
 * **Practices** || Wednesdays/Fridays

 * **Jamborees** || April 7@KIS || April 21@SIS || May 11@CI (Tournament) ||

Uniform
Students are required to have a jamboree uniform with a number at jamborees. If you plan to play basketball **and** plan to buy a shirt for PE, only by ordering from Mr. Hernandez can you have your name and a number added to the back of your shirt. Contact Mr. Hernandez for ordering a customized shirt.

We encourage all students to use the shorts sold in the Phoenix Store as the lower half of their uniform, but that is optional. There are two lengths to choose from for each size (photos below). However, if different shorts are worn, the color should be navy blue.
