2nd Grade Future Stars Games

At the end of every instructional season, UM Hoops provides an opportunity for 2nd graders to have a chance to play in a “real” game. We plan to hold a 2nd grade boys Future Stars Game as well as a 2nd grade girls Future Stars Game (if not enough 2nd grade girls are available, we will encourage the advanced 1st graders to play) on March 24 morning at UM Intermediate School.

This opportunity is open to every 2nd grader, but is NOT mandatory. We are asking for the boys that are interested in a more advanced game and have an understanding of the rules or the game or strong willingness to learn, and for all 2nd grade girls to play. A certified PIAA referee will call violations and fouls in the Futures games. You will need to tell your coach if your child is interested in playing by March 6 for planning purposes. A good time to tell them would be at this Saturday’s games.

The Futures games give the 2nd graders a glimpse of what is ahead next year – 10-foot baskets, real rules and scored games (the favorite part for a lot of kids). We will keep score in the Futures games and will enforce sportsmanship from all fans. Any fan complaining about the referee will be ejected. There is a zero tolerance policy with the Futures games.

We will make teams and schedule practices for March 12-23 in the same practice times that have been used all year after we have received final participation numbers.

Please direct any questions to Instructional League director Justin Feil at [email protected] Please tell just your coach if your child will be participating in the Future Stars Games.
