Basketball 2016/17
NEWs - December 14, 2016
See basketball webpage for information regarding changes to practices and tryouts for senior boys
HELLO PLAYERS AND PARENTS...
All grades are welcome to tryout for Senior Teams. Only grade 7's and 8's may tryout for Junior Teams.
Senior Teams...
are competitive and are organized through Calgary Catholic Athletics Association and have carded referees.These teams have a smaller roster, usually 10-12 players. Play is much more aggressive than junior teams.
Junior teams...
are developmental and the level of competition depends on the school we play against. Referees are student/coaches and parents.
MDH tries to get as many students involved in the junior team as possible and depending on the number of players who tryout we have many ways of doing this. From having 2 junior teams to having one team with practice only players. We try and develop a multitude of abilities within the program. Games will start 3 on 3 and progress to 5 on 5 by the end of the season.
Senior league games are double headers.
Juniors, your games are organized by the coach. Stay tuned for dates and times.
We try to schedule most games from 4-6pm
Tournament info will be handed out to players and posted on MDH website once we receive it but dates have been posted on the schedule below.
Please refer to the website for the most up to date and accurate schedule.
All dates subject to change.

It is their responsibility to arrange their own ride.
