Summer Basketball League

Vis Basketball players, grades 7-12, will participate in the summer basketball league hosted by Concordia University at the Ganglehoff Center in St. Paul. This team will be coached by Nick Wills (parent of captain Samantha Wills).  We have the option of requesting either Tuesday or Thursday evenings. The League runs June 20-July 27, one night per week, two 40-minute games each night.

Cost of participation will be $40 per player for 10 games on 5 nights.  Players will also be required to purchase a practice jersey from the school (app. $15). These jerseys will also be used later in the season.  If players already have a practice jersey from past years, they can use those.

If you are interested in participating, no later than May 19, please (1) complete the attached form and email Anita Wills, (2) indicate if you prefer Tuesday or Thursday night, and (3) Venmo $40 to Blazer Basketball @visbb. Please include your player’s name in the note section of the Venmo payment.

The number of Middle School Basketball teams formed and competition levels depend on how many student-athletes come out to play.   7th and 8th graders are eligible to try out for Upper School teams, but placement is not guaranteed.  Student-athletes will have the opportunity to participate in games that are appropriate for their makeup and ability.

The teams typically play a nine-game regular season schedule, plus playoffs, and roughly half of the games are at Home and half are Away. The dates of the season are TBA, but typically run from late November through late February / early March.
