6th Grade Boys & Girls Basketball information
Dear Parents of 6th Grade Basketball Players,
Carl Ben Eielson is excited to announce that 6th grade basketball will be offered during the month of March. Dates are set for Monday, March 1st and running through Friday, April 2nd. Up to this point, all intramurals have been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. This small step towards normalcy will hopefully be refreshing and successful.
In discussions moving forward with the season, your middle school AD’s have been working hard in meetings to determine how to proceed with the season. The most difficult aspect of preparing for the season is that each district and school has specific local and/or statewide rules and regulations in place concerning athletics. To make the season run as smoothly as possible, all FM area schools have agreed upon certain conditions that must be in place moving forward. Though not everyone may necessarily support and accept these conditions, for our season to occur, they must strictly be followed. If these conditions aren’t followed, your child will not be able participate in games.
FPS Basketball Guidelines:
Fargo Public Schools will operate at approximately 75% capacity for competitions and performances at a majority of District facilities. Some event venues will have reduced capacity.
We have decided to not allow fans to attend the jamborees at each middle school site.
We will still conduct Jamborees but will be held between your own school.
Skills and fundamentals will be the overall focus of the 6th grade program.
All players will be required to be masked at all times (unless players are drinking water). This includes players on the bench, in the stands, and to and from school on a bus.
All 6th grade students will receive an email on Wednesday, February 24th, with the link to sign up.
First day of 6th grade basketball will be Monday, March 1st .
Meet in north gym girls and south gym boys after school to meet coaches and to get more specific information.
Come with proper clothing to participate in and have your own water bottle. The coaches will allow you to change once they have gone over some basic expectations.
No drinking fountains are open at this time. Please bring a water bottle.
We know that the system we have set up isn’t perfect and that there will be some not happy with all of our guidelines. That being said, it does allow our athletes and schools to compete against each other in the safest possible way. We look forward to watching our teams compete.
