NORTH FRANKLIN GIRLS BASKETBALL

The basketball league is back for the third season under the Connell Junior Eagles. Megan Hafer is the girls' basketball coordinator. This year 3rd-6th grade girls will start practicing February 10th. Games will be weekdays, and the season will end Saturday March 22nd.

This league focuses on the basic fundamental principles.

We are working with our high school coach to continue a fundamental program to develop skills, emphasize fun, and build competitors.

If you can help coach or ref at any capacity, please enroll as a volunteer.

Girls' registration closes February 3rd.

Parents of K-2nd grade, look for some open gym clinics to happen this year. We are working with some of our high school players to offer some fundamental clinics.

We are currently looking at a coed basketball camp at the end of the season and potentially the summer too. Be on the lookout!
