Boys Basketball

Tryouts are typically in Late September.  Games begin after Fall Break (mid-October).

The Boys' 7/8 Basketball Championship Tournament takes place during the first or second week of December, prior to Winter Break.  Unless a team signs up for an outside tournament, that is the end of their season.  The Boys' 5/6 Team ends their season with the last game unless they play in the Annual Charger Classic held for the 5/6 teams in the 20 K-6 schools.

Practices at the Schools

The seven K-8 Schools participate in hosting each other and playing away at each others schools for a total of 12 regular season games.  (Exceptions- Abraham Lincoln and Sweetwater do not have indoor gyms, so they play their home games at other facilities.)  

At the end of the season the 7/8 grade teams at the seven schools are seeded into a District Tournament to play for the K-8 Championship.  The 5/6 Teams at the K-8 schools have the option to play in the Charger Classic with the other 20 K-6 School teams.

Basketball is a tryout sport,  All who wish to play need to tryout prior to the season.  Tryouts are based on skills of passing, shooting, dribbling through traffic, and general game play.  Other factors taken into account during tryouts - grades, behavior, communication, sportsmanship, and good team work.   Typically, teams are made up of 15 athletes.  Each K-8 School has a 7/8 Grade Basketball Team and a 5/6 Grade Basketball Team.  

There is a combined 7th and 8th Grade Boys' Team at each K-8 school.
