We are excited to introduce the Cougar Elite League!
This league is designed to help middle school players grow, prepare, and adjust to the rigors of the high school game with an emphasis on fundamentals.
Our two practices on May 1st & May 8th will be in our main gym from 5:00 - 6:30 pm. Gym doors will be open at 4:30pm. These practices allow us to evenly place the girls for
their team. After our last practice on May 8th, I will send out the player rosters. Ideally, the rosters will be set – meaning they will not change throughout the league. This allows for maximum team chemistry to develop as they grow as a unit throughout June. Changes will be made accordingly.
These two practices will consist of skill workouts in the beginning and finish up with getting up and down the court. If your player is not able to make one of the practice dates, please let me know.
Each week in June will have an Emphasis of the Week -- Communicated and printed out for players and parents.
For example: The first week’s emphasis will be Intangibles. We will be focusing on Eye Contact, & Touches (high fives, fist bumps, etc.). The printed portion will be the reason WHY the intangibles and the next-play mentality are important to the game and as a teammate. We want to start with a foundational quality as we continue to get better skill-wise with each Emphasis building on the last. We will split ALL players up into teams. Maximum 10 players per team.
Who is eligible to play?
All Cougar Elite Teams are coached by STM Head Coach Jeanne Kenney and her Girl’s Basketball Staff.
