20-21 Season JH Basketball season

The 2020-21 Junior High Basketball season started out with a lot of uncertainty.  After Fall seasons were canceled, we were unsure if Winter sports would be able to even hold a season. Determined to provide our athletes with experiences that improve on essential skills, strength building, conditioning, playmaking, and game analysis to mimic what they would have typically learned in a season, we were able to begin our season on December 9, 2020, however unconventional it would prove to be.

And unconventional it was. At the start of the season, interscholastic competition was prohibited by the state, so our season would consist solely of intrasquad practices.  In-person practices were held on Monday and Wednesday, and Saturday, and Tuesday and Thursday, players worked on personal improvement through take-home workouts and physical challenges. Every Tuesday, players checked in with each other and coaches through zoom meetings, where discuss progress and address any concerns.  On Friday, we held themed practices that focused on specific skills and concepts ranging from dribbling to shooting to basic offenses. To accomplish this, we would virtually watch game tapes that showcased the specific theme and discuss the tape as a team. Despite the fact that the season was so unorthodox and we were limited in what we could do, eleven dedicated players showed up and worked hard each practice from day one.

Just days before the practice season was scheduled to end, basketball teams across the state were given the OK to play games. We set up scrimmages to be played like real games in an effort to allow players to apply and demonstrate what they learned throughout the season. This, in a sense, rewarded the players for the dedication throughout the season.  they were able to finish the season by gaining real-time game experience, healthy competition, and integrate the on-court playmaking, teamwork, and collaboration components that had been missing most of the season.

The 2020-21 Basketball season was anything but normal, but our players remained dedicated and committed throughout. To celebrate our effort, we concluded the season with a field trip to the movies on February 8.
