Jr. Indians Basketball

Again this year Marengo will have 3 teams compete in the Greater Suburban Basketball Association conference, there will be a 6th, 7th and 8th grade team. They will compete against programs throughout northern IL. In the past we have had approximately 20 games and 20 practices throughout the season, and it should be the same this season. The purpose of this league is to help develop the athletes’ skills and abilities through practice and games; in turn making better players. The league will run from January to March (Spring Break).

Our teams will consist of 10 players, therefore try-outs are required. Try-out dates are December 9th & 10th from 7:15 – 9:00 @ Marengo High School District 154 gymnasium. If you are interested in trying out you must be there by 7:15 on December 9th to turn in the required forms (attached: Insurance waiver and registration form). If you need additional copies of the registration or insurance waiver you can get them by logging onto the MCHS website (www.mchs154.org) and go to the athletics section there you will find the forms for Jr. Indians.

We are able to keep the costs for your athletes down thanks to the support from Marengo High School District 154 Administration and the School Board allowing us to use their facilities, therefore the league fee will only be $150.00.

It will be parents/guardians responsibility to ensure that their athlete is to the practices as scheduled. The league will not transport the athletes to games; it is the parent /guardians responsibility. There are teams expectations for character and conduct which the athletes will be expected to understand and follow; those will be given to the athletes at their first practice.

**Parents/guardians are also needed to help at home games; for hall supervision, game clock, and game book (if you do not know how to operate the clock or keep the book we can get you trained).

**Uniforms have been supplied through generous donations; any damage or loss will result in a charge for replacement.

Look forward to seeing everyone at try-outs on December 9th @ 7:15 p.m. at Marengo High School District 154 Gymnasium. If there are any further questions please feel free to email me: [email protected] or call 815-970-1024. Good luck with your schools season and see you soon.
