Kennebunk Hoops and RSU21 Basketball Community,
Good afternoon all - happy Snow/2 Hour Delay Wednesday! 🙂
This is a quick follow up email targeting all players/families from the Girls Grade 3 and 4 REC League.
At the beginning of the season during the RSU21 Basketball Information Night, both REC and Kennebunk Hoops Board (KBH) mentioned that we would look to explore extending the season for certain groups - KBH is interested in putting together a small team of 10 girls from the existing Arundel REC program and create a "short season" (shorter than the existing Travel Teams) for games outside of our RSU.
Coach Spencer Dole and Coach Matt Menard are both members of the KBH board as well as their REC 3/4 Girls Coaching responsibilities. They have been watching league play this season along with Tyler Bernaiche and believe that we have the right amount of development from this group of Lady Ballers to create and "All-Star" Team from the existing players.
Coach Spencer and Coach Matt are the two assigned coaches for the new team - we have a goal of signing up this new team for 2 Tournaments:
-
Wells 3/4 Girls Tournament (February 14-16, 2025)
-
Westbrook Paper City Classic (February 20-23, 2025)
We will also look to schedule some local friendlies with other communities (Wells, Kittery, etc).
NOTE: It is not a problem if you are not able to commit to both events - KBH still would like to invite players that can commit to atleast one of the two weekends above - our goal is to help our GRade 3 and 4 Lady Ballers experience a more competitive play against teams from Southern Maine.
KBH would like to offer a Player Evaluation this Thursday 1/30/25 at 6:45 at KES gym. This session requires a $0 registration to attend for sign up. KBH will invite all girls from the 3/4 REC league and try to create a 10 girl team. It's important to note that while KBH board will look to be open and fair about the evaluation process, if we have more than 10 girls trying out we would have to consider that not all girls may make the team.
REGISTER ($0) FOR PLAYER EVALUATIONS: If you wish to have your daughter come and join the player evaluation session, the next step for each parent is to register your player within the www.kennebunkhoops.com site. Please register at our website: www.kennebunkhoops.com, under the “registration” tab - if you do not already have one, you'll need to create an account - and add your child under your account profile.
REGULAR SEASON COST: $100 (as opposed to the $225 for the full season) which would cover all expenses for tournament play, shooting shirts, etc).
Thanks for considering and we look forward to seeing your girls on the court - have a good one!
Mike T - Kennebunk Hoops President
"One Team, All In!"
