About the Program

Season: January 6 - February 21

Practice: 3:20-4:50p.m. Monday thru Friday

Signup on EduTrak: $110

Sports Physical Required: A Sports Physical must be on file before you can register on EduTrak. Completed physicals which have been signed by a physician can be dropped off at the FRMS office or faxed to 952-431-8770.

To secure a guaranteed spot on the team, students must be registered before the first day of practice with a sports physical on file and payment made through EduTrak. Students who register after the first day of practice will be wait-listed and cannot be guaranteed a spot on the team.

General Info: We are very excited to work with your son on the Falcon Ridge Basketball Team! The first week of practice will be used as a “tryout”, or evaluation period to determine the placement of the boys on the A team, B team, or C team depending on the number of participants.

Practices end at 4:50 PM with the activity buses leaving FRMS at 5:00 PM from the downstairs parking lot/door 7. Students not riding the activity bus must be picked up by 5 PM in the downstairs parking lot/door 7.

Please note, away competitions last past 5 PM . In these instances, families will need to pick up their student(s) immediately following the contest.

Dear Parents & Players,

FRMS 7^th Grade Boys Basketball begins on, January 3rd!

The goals for the middle school season will be as follows:

1. To learn fundamental basketball skills

2. To improve daily through practice

3. To develop a high level of self-discipline

4. To be a good student, role-model and to display good sportsmanship

5. To have fun while learning and improving

We invite you to attend as many games as you can. Your support and encouragement are important.

The expectations we have for the team are as follows:

All players are expected to attend practices and games.
We understand conflicts arise that may cause your student-athlete to miss a practice or a game. In fact, we usually have many players that are involved in multiple activities such as Traveling Athletics, or other previous commitments that might conflict with several practices or games. Please send a note or email (jere.slattery@district196.org, Bryan.smith@district196.org, Bryce.Garvey@district196.org) letting us know.
We practice every day beginning at 3:20 until 4:50, please have rides set up. There will be activity buses available for in-district students to bring athletes home. Those buses leave FRMS at 5:00.
Depending on the number of student-athletes we will have between two – four teams (A, B, and C Teams). Tip-off for the B & C1 Teams is typically 3:45 PM, and games usually conclude by 4:40 PM. Tip-off for the A & C2 Teams is typically 4:45 PM, and games finish by 5:50 PM. All district 196 boy’s basketball games consist of two 20-minute halves that are “running time” with “stop-time” the last two minutes of each half. We do this to ensure that games are as close to the scheduled time as possible. Game schedules will be posted on the FRMS website as soon as they are finalized.

5. Parents need to provide transportation home for games that end after 5pm. For away-games, students can take a return bus to FRMS. However, parents need to pick up their child from FRMS as the bus will not be back before the 5pm activity bus deadline. We ask that you please arrive in a timely manner.

We are looking forward to a great season! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact via email or call 952-431-8760.

Sincerely,

Jeremiah Slattery, Bryan Smith, & Bryce Garvey
