Basketball Practice - Sept. 25th

Basketball practice this Saturday is from 9-11am at the James Lee Community Center (2855-A Annandale Road, Falls Church, VA 22042). Please arrive on time. Basketball chairs will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. All players should be dressed appropriately and bring a water bottle. If you have team equipment (ex. basketball wheelchair) you must bring it to practice on Saturday. All equipment needs to be checked in.

If you are unable to attend practice, please ensure that you let us know ahead of time.

Directly following practice we will be working on creating signs for the car wash (October 23rd). There will also be an open gym session until noon if players would like to use the gym to practice independently or work one-on-one with a coach/ volunteer. Robert has a sign-up sheet for the open gym practice. If you plan on staying for the open gym session, please sign up to work with a particular coach/volunteer or indicate that you would like to just work independently.

Thanks for all of your hard work. See you on Saturday!!
