The Community Activities Office (CAO) at ISB is excited to announce the start of a new U9 Cubs Basketball Club! This developmental team for girls will have the opportunity to train weekly, develop skills, and play some competitive matches versus other schools.
Tryouts for the U9 girls program will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 7 from 3:30-5:00 in the ES A/C gym. At this time we are running basketball club for girls only. ISB’s Athletic Director, Mr. Quinet, will be the head coach.

TRYOUT: CUBS BASKETBALL CLUB – U9 GIRLS
Eligibility: Girls who were under 9 years of age as of Sept. 1, 2016.
Date: Tuesday, February 7
Venue: ES A/C Gym
Time: 3:30-5:00pm
SELECTIONS
Team selections will be based primarily on basketball skills and understanding, coachability and attitude, effort and athletic ability. Each student will be given a fair and equitable opportunity to showcase these attributes. The final roster size will not be larger than twelve, and may be less to ensure everyone on the team can grow, thrive, and enjoy the program.
The selection process is always difficult, and we will endeavor to assess each player’s ability to succeed within the program. Not everyone who tries out may make the team. The coach will provide feedback to any players/parents who are not selected and identify their skills and areas of need.
The results from the tryout on Tuesday, Feb. 7 will be emailed out to parents, along with invitations to join the first practice session on Tuesday, Feb. 14. Fees will be due once parents/players confirm.
GAMES
Games will be scheduled once the team is adequately prepared. The Cubs will have the opportunity to play with teams from Harrow and NIST/Top Flight, and possibly others, both home and away. Four games are already scheduled on Sunday afternoons, however we will try to schedule some additional games on Tuesdays during the regular practice time. More games will be added if/when appropriate.
SCHEDULED GAMES:
March 26 at HIS
April 2 vs. HIS (at ISB)
April 23 at NIST
May 7 vs. NIST (at ISB)
PRACTICES: Tuesdays, 3:30-5:00 ES A/C Gym. Students can arrive from 3:15pm and warm up with the coaches.
