SPORTS PROGRAM NEWS
WELCOME BACK TO A FUN-FILLED SPORTS PROGRAM
I hope you all had a wonderful, active and healthy summer. This fall and winter we have lots of opportunities for our students
to expand their knowledge and ability in several different sports programs. The most important emphasis in our sports program
is to help students develop and improve skills, game knowledge and participation. We want every student who has an interest
to be able to play on a BSS team. The more teams and coaches we have, the more we can develop our players. We will
continue to have our elementary level programs place the greatest emphasis on skill development and equal playing time, so
that they can be prepared to play at a more competitive level in middle school.
BASKETBALL NEWS
