Basketball families, I hope you all had a great summer! Now that school has started back up, that means basketball season is fast approaching. I am looking into getting some gym space throughout September and the beginning of October to do some open gyms/skill sessions. But as you all know, our most recent school levy failed which could cause some changes with gym availability. In order to crunch some numbers and figure out costs, I’d like to get an early headcount of how many girls plan to play in our program this year (both travel and rec). We will definitely have a travel team per grade for 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. Depending on the number of girls who want to participate, as well as other factors such as gym space and costs to rent the gyms (we will have added costs for support staff if we are allowed to use our school gyms on the weekends) that will help determine the viability of our rec program for the upcoming season. It is our goal to give every girl who wants to play basketball, the opportunity to play through our Tallmadge youth program. But due to our circumstances, we must evaluate all options at this time. If you plan on signing your daughter up to play this year, please fill out the attached Google form so we can start figuring things out.
If you know anybody who is interested in playing that has not played in the past, and may not be on this distribution list, please forward this to them. We are committed to making our girls program the best in the area, and your feedback is valued. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. More info will be sent out in the coming weeks. I hope everyone had a safe and happy return to school.
To get an idea of how many girls will be participating on our program this year
