YCMS — Grade 6 & 7 Basketball 2019

Basketball season has begun at YCMS for Grade 6 and 7 players.  Players have signed up on-line and are also required to have their parents complete an on-line permission form and pay the $15 Athletic fee through School Cash Online.  We currently have 190 players divided into the 4 groups (Gr. 6/7 boys/girls). Each of these groups will be further divided into separate teams prior to games beginning in February.  All our games will be played here at Yorkson but will be against teams from the other Langley middle schools with four games going on at once in the two gyms.  The plan is to also have an early game beginning at 3:10 and a late game beginning at 3:45.  This schedule has not yet been set but it will be posted on our school website.  With eight games being played each day, assistance from parents with scorekeeping and other organizational duties (uniforms, gym set-up/take-down) will be needed and appreciated.  The season will conclude the first week of March with a Basketball Jamboree for each division.  We will host the Jamboree for Gr. 6 Boys and Gr. 7 Boys on Tuesday, March 5^thand Wednesday, March 6^threspectfully.  The girls teams will play at another school TBA.
