Westfield Boys Basketball team will be having a virtual Basketball Meeting on Nov. 30 at 7pm. This meeting is for those student athletes that are trying out and for parents, I will send out the virtual link on Monday morning. 

Boys’ Basketball tryout information:

• Basketball tryout will be held 12/7 – 12/11 we will start releasing students’ athletes that don’t make the team starting 12/9 and hope to have a final team no later than 12/11
• Practice times for the week of 12/7 -12/11 is Boys Varsity 3:30 – 5:30, JV 3:30 – 5:15 and Freshman 7:30 – 9:15pm. Check- in time is 15mins before practice starts! Due to the Pandemic all players must be check-in at door 11 and leave throw door 13. Parents can’t just drop their kid off; they must stay with them until they are check-in. FCPS doesn’t want students lingering around in the building after practice so please pick up your son at the correct time.
• Tryout Materials
  • White tee-shirts with you last name written on the back, basketball shoes
  • Clothes to pull over your tryout clothing at the end of practice
  • 1gallon of water to have during practice

Basketball is one of the greatest sports in the world, but it also carries the smallest numbers of athletes, which makes is very difficult to make the team. I encourage all players who don’t make a team to continue to play. We have had many players who didn’t make it one year who came back out the next year and make the team.

Terri Towel will be holding a Winter Sports Town Hall on Monday 11/23 @ 6:30pm

Boys Basketball will be holding an interest meeting on Monday 11/30 @ 7PM
