THE 2015-2016 DHS GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM!

CONGRATULATIONS! You are now a part of the 2015-2016 Girl's Basketball program at Davis High School. We want to thank you ladies for coming out to tryouts and to thank your parents, in advance, for the hard work they are about to put in as well. Being a part of a team is no small thing; it takes commitment, dedication, unselfishness and sacrifice. We have full confidence in you girls and can't wait to get started!

So we can all get to know each other better, and to be able to contact you when needed, please take a few minutes to look over the new Contact Information Sheet - the link can be found below:

15-16 Contact Information Sheet

(Please note, these are google docs, which may need you to have access to a google drive account. If you do not, or do not want to sign up for a free account, please contact me and I can add the information you need.)

If you are a returner, please take a few minutes to review the information and update it as needed. If you are new to the team, please fill in where your name is with as much information as is available. 

We also ask that parents help our team out by providing one dinner a year to keep the girls fed on game days! Games start as early as 3:30 and don't get over until around 8:30 - often with added travel time. So, as you can see, dinner is what is provided! We have 22 girls on the team this year and 21 games, so there will be one home game (designated on the sign up sheet with a (**) in front of the date) where 2 will double up and help each other with that dinner.

It is a "First Come, First Serve" system, so get signed up quickly, especially considering our first game is on Nov. 24th! If there are any problems with providing a meal, please feel free to contact us about it and we will be more than willing to work with you. We understand that not all financial situations are the same. 

Dinner Sign-Up Sheet
(** Please note, it is different than last year! With only 22 players each parent will need to take 1 game by themselves. If you sign up as two, please take 2 separate games. The only exception to this is Tues. Dec. 22nd. We have 22 players and only 21 games so there will be ONE game that is doubled up on. THANK YOU!)

Home dinners should be ready at 3:30 pm and for away games, please have lunches to the school by 1:45 pm or at the visiting school by 3:00 pm. This allows a time for all the girls to eat at some point during the day.

THANK YOU AGAIN! 

LET'S GET THIS YEAR STARTED! GO DARTS! 

Reminder!

REMINDER: 

Tryouts are Monday, November 9th and Tuesday, November 10th; both days will begin promptly at 3:00 PM so please come early to stretch and do anything you need to get ready.

DO NOT FORGET, you must be registered through www.registermyathlete.com  *BEFORE* tryouts. So do it now! This is a UHSAA requirement. Also, please check in with Mrs. gale in the office to have your eligibility checked beforehand.

Final cuts will be right after tryouts on November 10th. For those who make the team, practices will begin the following day on November 11th, with a parent/player meeting with the coaches that evening at 6:15 PM in Coach Hewlett's room #2410.

WE CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED! See ya on the court!

REGISTER MY ATHLETE

In place of the UHSAA Tryout Checklist that has been used in the past ALL parents or guardians of athletes who TRYOUT must go to www.uhsaa.org and follow the directions to create a login and register their daughter (scroll down on the main page and click on "Sign in" under the heading "RegisterMyAthlete" then follow the prompts given). All forms, excluding the physical and the district participation fees, need to be completed before your athlete can tryout. However, please note, that if your athlete makes the team - physicals and participation fees are due BEFORE the FIRST game, otherwise she will not be allowed to play, so please do not procrastinate them. 

** Reminder about physicals: EVERYONE who makes the team needs one EVERY YEAR! There will be a chance for winter sport athletes to get their physical done at the school (date & time TBA), the cost is $15 **

****IMPORTANT!!****

TRYOUTS FOR THE 2015-16 DAVIS HIGH GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM WILL BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 9TH AND 10TH! 

(TIME TBA)

It's Back! - Open Gym

With tryouts just around the corner, you won't wanna miss out on fall Open Gyms!

Open Gyms will be held every Monday and Wednesday beginning on SEPTEMBER 14th, 2015 from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm. If you attend open gyms between September 14th and October 21st, it will cost $25, between October 26 and Nov. 4th open gym will be FREE to all who attend. Please pay at the office under "Girls B-Ball Account," tell the secretary it is for Fall Open Gym and bring a receipt to Coach Jones.

** Be aware that because of scheduling conflicts, on B days we may have to start in the small gym until volleyball is finished **

We can't wait to see you there! 

"Train Insane or Remain the Same"

After 26 open gyms and 36 games this spring and summer, we hope that you will continue to work hard during the months of July, August, September, and October. Work on your fundamentals - shooting, dribbling and passing. But also, get together and play, play, PLAY. Play 2 on 2, 3 on 3, 4 on 4, and 5 on 5. You should have a ball in your hands every. single. day! Set daily and weekly goals. For example: Guards could set goals to shoot 300 shots daily - 100 3's, 100 off the pass, and 100 off the dribble. Or to make 200 shots every day. Posts could set goals to shoot 100 shots a day with your back to the basket using right and left hand, 100 drives to the basket (right and left) and 100 shots facing the basket - increasing your range, etc. Both guards and posts should be able to use both hands around the rim. Other goals might include shooting 100 free throws and making 80, working on your ball handling skills and being equally great with both hands, and passing with both hands. Work on conditioning, speed, and FOOTWORK. Also, lift weights 3 times a week, we need to get stronger!

It's a huge sacrifice to put in the time to be the best you can be. It takes dedication, determination, and discipline. The best athletes and basketball players make themselves better in the off season. At Davis High School we want to compete for a region championship every year. It can't be just a few who do this but every single DHS player.

We are excited for the 2015-2016 Davis High School Girls Basketball team. We are looking for players who have worked hard in the off season and who are willing to continue to wrk hard during the season. We are looking for talented and athletic players who are great students and teammates, who are coachable, give 100% effort 100% of the time and love the game of basketball. We will begin open gyms mid-September (days and times TBA) and go right up until tryouts which are November 9th and 10th (times TBA).
