Lady Pirate Basketball FREE Fundamental Saturdays

Girls Basketball

The Charlestown High School Lady Pirate Basketball Coaching Staff; along with several of our middle and elementary coaching staffs, high school players and volunteers are hosting a free five (5) week instructional basketball program, FREE to any female student grades K-6th.  This program is designed to introduce the fundamentals of basketball specific skills.

SUMMER/FALL SESSION 2014 DATES:  Saturday (August 23rd) Saturday and (September 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th) at the Charlestown High School Sports Arena*.

K- 2nd Grade 9:00 AM-10:00 AM (Can drop off at 8:45)
3rd-6th Grade 10:30 AM- 12:00 PM (Can drop off at 10:15)

One of the main goals, with this program, is to teach all of the participants about developing a “sports work-ethic”. Every person that truly wants to become good at a sport or a skill needs to know that the amount of time, practice, energy, and thorough repetition is the key to improvement. We will also focus on sportsmanship, team work, while introducing basketball skills and learning the general rules of the game.

*The CHS Sports Arena is currently where all sessions are planned to take place, however if Football has to move inside on a Saturday morning because of rain, we may have to the move location that day to CMS.  It will be announced prior to session.

Parents, Guardians and family are allowed to stay and watch or you can leave and come back; and a waiver of liability form will be required to be signed by parents at the first session.

There will also be a concession stand available for the purchase of Water, Gatorade for players Sodas and some dry snacks for parents if desired.
