The Woods Cross Basketball Program will be going into
this 2012-2013 season with the thought on “Building on Tradition” as our
focus. Woods Cross has had a very
strong basketball tradition for many years making it to the state tournament 8
straight seasons and a Final Four appearance in 2011. I believe the only way to
continue that tradition of excellence is to have a strong foundation of youth
basketball teams wearing the Woods Cross name across their chest and having
pride in that every time they walk onto the floor. The following will be an
outline of what I’m hoping as far as the amount of teams we will have
(depending on numbers), the amount of coaches needed, the tournaments we would
like to play in, and what is expected from the different entities that will
make this youth program a success.
Who:
·
6th- 8th Grade boys who
live in the Woods Cross boundaries only. We would like to get at least 2 teams
per age group with about 8 players per team.
What:

These are the tournaments we would like all
teams to play in and are all sanctioned by the AAU:
