Only 3 keycards are currently allocated to SJN-SM
Keycards will be given to one of the coaches in each grade bracket
DO NOT TRADE KEYCARDS
If unable to practice for any reason reach out to the current SM Director
Sign-In
Insurance requires that we keep a log of all people who attend the practices
This can be taken by anyone but the record must be kept all season
If the Gym is in a state of disarray send a pic of the issue to Admin@SJNSports.com and reach out to the current SM Director.
Chairs left out, Trash / Spills on the floor, damaged equipment
pro tip: flip over all trash cans except for 1 to avoid replacing multiple bags
Practice drills are NOT position specific
At this age the kids should learn all the skills.
No set plays or screens until 7th grade
Until each player can pass, shoot, dribble, catch, and do lay-ups at the MVP level listed in the links below
This for safety.
Practices and Games must Start with the SJN SM Prayer and End with a team cheer of “EAGLES!”
