It’s getting close to basketball season, and that means Lil’ Fillies Basketball begins! Beginning Saturday, November 8, 2014, at 8:30 a.m., at the Morrison Junior High School Gymnasium, all girls from grades 2 through 4 will have the opportunity to learn basketball skills. These include dribbling, passing, shooting, and basic offensive/defensive strategies. This program will also help to improve the success of your children as student athletes and the success of the Morrison Basketball Program.
The main objective to the program is to allow the students to learn the fundamentals of basketball, get some exercise, and have the chance to play on the big stage at some of the High School games. The program consists of five practices on Saturdays and four games during halftime of Varsity basketball games.
A typical practice would include fundamentals and drills, followed by contests and games. Students will be taught the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship through their activities. High School athletes will also help teach and coach our lil’ fillies during practice and games. This is beneficial to both the older and younger students.
The Lil’ Fillies program will be coached by Tyler Whitebread, Morrison High School Fillies Basketball Coach.
Practices: Saturday mornings from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. on November 8 and 15; December 6; January 3 and 10.
Games: Girls will play at halftime of these home Varsity games, November 25 vs. Milledgeville; December 1 vs. Orion; January 12 vs. Riverdale; January 22 vs. Erie, IL.
