Basketball
Basketball is a fast-paced, dynamic sport that requires agility, strategy, and teamwork. Joining a high school basketball team is a great way to improve your cardiovascular health, enhance your coordination, and build strong bonds with your teammates.
Whether you're a sharpshooter, a tough rebounder, or a defensive powerhouse, there's a place for you on the court. We offer three teams to suit your skills and experience: freshman, junior varsity, and senior.
