🚫 IMPORTANT REMINDER – PLEASE LEAVE BASKETBALLS AT HOME

We are asking that players please DO NOT bring their own basketballs to J-Hoops games.

Basketballs being dribbled on the sidelines or around the gym during games have become a distraction to the players who are competing. Each court has practice/warm-up basketballs available, so there is no need for players to bring their own.

Parents, please help us by making sure basketballs are left at home on game days.

📅 NO GAMES LABOR DAY WEEKEND

There will be NO J-Hoops games this Sunday, September 6, due to Labor Day Weekend.

Our next games will be played during our weeknight game schedule, Monday, September 14 through Thursday, September 17. Please check TeamSnap for your team's specific game date and time.

Thank you again for a terrific opening week. As we move through the season, let's continue to emphasize sportsmanship, fair play, teamwork, and FUN. Remember: players play, coaches coach, officials officiate, and parents cheer!

Enjoy the Labor Day weekend, and we'll see everyone back in the gym for Week 2!

Have a great week!
