Offseason Basketball Information

Thank you to all the boys that came out for our team this offseason. It was a great turnout. There are several important items I want you to know. 

1. The game schedule for all teams will be announced as soon as we have them. Our varsity (Blue) will play in a spring league and a few tournaments in May. Everyone else will play in the following tournaments in June:
-Utah Team Camp June 3, 4, and 5 (assuming the new coach continues it, and the dates stay the same, both of which I anticipate happening)
-Great Western Classic June 9, 10, 11, and 12
-Rocky Mountain Showcase June 22, 23, 24, 25, 26
*Other opportunities may crop up either in June or July for those willing and able to play

2. The offseason fee of $500 must be paid by June 1 in order to play in any games after that date. Current Summit Academy students will pay through ASPIRE. That fee will be added to your account soon. All other players should give a check to Coach Baird payable to Summit Academy with boys' basketball in the memo line. Please see Coach Baird if there is an issue related to finances.

3. We will have a spring basketball camp the last week of April. All incoming 9th graders are invited to attend free of charge as the entrance fee is included in their offseason fee. 

4. We will follow this practice schedule for the duration of the offseason: Tuesdays and Thursdays Summit Academy Black and Summit Academy White will practice from 6:00-8:00 PM (doors will open at 5:50 PM); Summit Academy Blue and Summit Academy Gold will practice from 7:00-9:00 (arrive at 6:40 for ropes, stretching, and goals). On Saturday, Black and White will go from 8:00-10:00 AM (doors open at 7:50 AM); Blue and Gold from 9:00-11:00 AM (arrive at 8:40 AM for ropes, stretching, and goals).

5. Please communicate with Coach Baird as soon as possible if you are going to miss practice. While we are flexible, considering this is the offseason, attendance does impact playing time, as well as improvement. We welcome and support multi-sport athletes and will work to find a balance between the boys' interests. 

6. Questions can be directed to Coach Baird at 801 232 2407 or summitacademybasketball@gmail.com.

7. If you have choosen not to play, please notify Coach Baird ASAP, as that will impact our groupings.
