Welcome to the basketball season! We look forward to working with our enthusiastic student athletes to develop their basketball skills during the next four months.
Spring League Schedules for this school year will be posted here once available.
Coaches will play all players during league games and tournament play. However, playing time given during each game is earned through effort, progress and attendance at practice. During tournament finals and championships, coaches will play their strongest lineup.
Coaches will play all players fairly during league games. Playing time given during each game is earned through effort, progress and attendance at practice. During tournament finals and championships, all will play but equal playing time may not occur.
Senior and Junior A teams participate in the Parkland County Athletic Association (PCAA).
Junior B teams do not have a league but will play exhibition games based on gym availability.
Parent volunteers are needed to transport students to games. Coaches or other GCMS staff cannot transport students in their private vehicles. If you are willing to transport other children, or if your child will be driven by another parent, please review the Administrative Procedure 818 - Student Transportation in Private Vehicles and complete this form: Transporting Students Waiver Form
Senior and Junior A teams will have team uniforms. A $5 ever-greening fee and a separate deposit cheque of $50 is required. The deposit cheque will not be cashed unless the uniform is not returned. The ever-greening fee is used to purchase new uniforms as required.
All players receive a cotton t-shirt jersey, the cost is included in the player fees.
At GCMS we take the term student athlete seriously. The word student comes first as the students' primary responsibility is to take care of academics, and give their best effort on all assignments in order to remain eligible. The Sportsmanship Agreement is in place to help students focus on this goal. Second, the student is a representative of our school and must adhere to the school’s behavioural expectations. While we do not anticipate problems, it is only realistic for us to present how discipline issues will be dealt with.
There will be fees assessed for students participating on our Basketball teams. These fees will cover the cost of officials, tournament entry fees and any clothing (other than the uniform).
Please see your child's coach for the fees for his/her team.
