Hello Frontier Academy Basketball Team!
Tonight is an exciting opportunity to Defend our Home Court. We opened the gym with a win, now let's do it again.
Once again, I want to thank the parents who have stepped up to provide us with meals on our trips. I know the kids, coaches and bus driver all appreciate the snacks and food for our trips to and from the games. You all have been tremendous supporters of the team and just want you to know it is appreciated by each and every one of us.
It was a tough week for the basketball team last week with the losses, but for those who were able to see the games are seeing progress. Both games were good learning experiences and growth opportunities. It was good to see that we aren't that far off from being a good team. You'll see in the highlight film that we had an 11 - 0 run in the game against Aurora Central - which is a 5A school. Watch a few highlights HERE.
Tonight we play a Lyons Lyons team who is currently .500 on the season. If we can play our aggressive style of defense and get a few runs on them we are going to have a great night tonight. We are starting to see our fast break and press break work better and the offense is also getting better as our athletes are beginning to anticipate and understand where their teammates are. This is just the beginning - and remember, we are still a young team going up against primarily Juniors and Seniors who have been with their coaches their entire high school career.
We were trying to add a JV game VS Pamona, but were not able to schedule that - we did however add a C-Team Round Robin tournament!! This tournament will be a round robin format meaning lots of basketball on Saturday February 2, 2019. More details to come as we learn more about what the schedule will look like.
The schedule for the rest of the week:
Tuesday
JV Game 4:30
Varsity Game 6:00 All players report to the gym by 3:45 White Uniforms Wednesday Practice 3:30 - 5:00 Meeting 5:00 - 5:30 Thursday Varsity Game at Pamona Athletes should be released by 2:30 Departure at 2:45 Game at Pomona High School, 8101 W Pomona Dr, Arvada, CO 80005, USA (map) Blue Uniforms Friday Christmas Vacation begins - but so do voluntary practices Open Gym 10:00 - 12:00 Film 12:00 - 1:00 Saturday No practice Christmas Break There have been a number of athletes asking about practice during the Christmas Break. CHSAA does not permit me to open the gym on the following dates: All Sundays, December 24-27 & January 1 We can, however, open the gym on December 28-29 and 31st. Official practice resumes on WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 2019. Parents, however, have no restriction from getting people together to play basketball and workout with their kids and I hear there may be some volunteers who are willing to get together. That will be totally on you. This is where you have an opportunity to continually improve your skills and usually a good time to get over to the FunPlex and play. Whatever you do, stay in shape. You don't want to lose what we've worked on because you decided you didn't need or want to run. Coach Woods (boys basketball coach) and I are working on plans to get the kids together when we have open gym to play together and have some fun workouts, shooting, dribbling, passing and different games. I hope to get more details out to you by Friday. Again, I thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you all tonight! Coach --
