Coaches' Request:

Only those students trying out for basketball should be in the gym.  Others in the gym can be distracting to the students who are trying out and the coaches who are evaluating the students.  We understand that you wish to watch your child, but please remain outside the gym area until tryouts are completed.

Recreation Basketball:

Deadlines to sign up are:    GIRLS - ________ BOYS - ________
We want to encourage students trying out to go ahead and sign up for recreation basketball.  If students to not make the ERMS basketball teams, they may still try out for the recreational teams.
