LEGACY HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL

MORNING OPEN GYM FOR OUR OLDER PLAYERS ON 5/6 IS CANCELLED WITH THE LATE START

 

 

Legacy Families!

 

It is about time for us to get back in the gym!  We are excited to welcome our incoming freshman and welcome back our returning guys for another off season of getting better and ready to have a successful and enjoyable season next year.

 

We are trying to finalize our open gym dates and summer team tryouts.  It is always a difficult task locking down gym time as we have AP testing in our gym during May and a successful boys volleyball program that might be hosting playoffs in the gym as well.  All of the dates and times are always subject to change due to the nature of having such a high demand gym at Legacy!

 

I'd like to provide a quick overview of what this summer will look like.  We will have to  have most of our workouts early as our gym is closing down for a large part of the summer due to construction, floor refinishing, and installation of a new gym scoreboard!  

 

Our summer program is compiled of two parts. Open Gym and Team tournaments.  

1) Open gym is open for all incoming freshman through seniors that are interested in playing basketball.  It is our time to teach the foundations of what we do.  We do a ton of skill work, and teaching of our language, offense, defense, and expectations to come.  This is the best time to learn and prepare.  Our official season begins in November, but our tryouts are always competitive with dozens of good basketball players not making teams. Those that have been to a ton of open gyms are typically the most prepared and ready to go!  Open gyms are for everyone.  They are not limited to those on a summer teams.  

 

2) Summer Team Tournaments.  Each summer, we select players to be on one of our three summer teams.  Those teams have no practice, but play in 2-3 weekend tournaments in May and June.  It is an opportunity for coaches to get some practice in and players to play against someone other than ourselves, see where we are at, and get a gauge of what our focus needs to be in the rest of the off season. We select these teams from those that show to our early open gym sessions.  We will have a freshman team, JV, and a varsity team.  These teams will play in those tournaments, and then those teams dissolve.  The teams have no impact on the tryout process and the teams during the winter season at Legacy.  If your son is unable to be at those tournaments on those dates, we ask that you please let us know ASAP so we can ask another player to play in their spot and give opportunity out to as many as possible.  The cost of these tournaments will be sent out as soon as we confirm our rosters!  

 

We are so excited to get back to it.  There is a lot of learning to do, especially with the adoption of a shot clock for us here in Colorado.  Its a new challenge that our coaching staff is really excited for.  We are looking forward to getting after it soon! 

The current summer dates are:

 

May 1 and 2nd are going to be fluid.  Our volleyball team is having  success and will probably be hosting playoffs at Legacy.

We will be waiting on the gym floors and construction to finish before we are sure when the next dates will be.  We will not be back until much closer to August. 

 

We will try and select Summer teams within the first three open gyms.  We will get the contact info from the players that are at open gym and reach out.  Again, please let us know of the dates that you are unavailable so we can find someone else to have the opportunity to go in that tournament.

May 22 -24.  Colorado School of Mines Camp in Golden and surrounding area high schools.
