Central Girls Basketball

Stretch Run

Playing basketball at Central is a privilege not a right.
The young women in our program are student-athletes and not athlete-students.
We will take as much pride in our work in the classroom, as we do in our work in the gym.

If a player is having problems with class work please talk with your coach.
Obtaining a good education is more important than activities/sports.

The basketball season is long and grueling work.

• The coaches will make sure that every player gets plenty of exercise...
• Please remember to eat healthy food, lots of vegetables/fruit.
• Hydrate properly, drink lots of water and real fruit juices.
• And perhaps the most important of all is to get plenty of rest/sleep.
• Make sure you find some time to have some fun.

  Playing good defense gets you on the floor

  Play good offense and you get your name in the paper

  you can't play offense if your not on the floor

  PLAY DEFENSE FIRST!

  If we are going to make a serious run at our Team Goals we are going to have to improve our mechanics. We have done well with most elements of our game but we sometimes forget the most basic elements of basketball. Every player at all levels should review this list and make a conscious effort to play fundamental basketball ALL OF THE TIME!
