Copeland Basketball Practice Details

• Players are expected to attend every practice.

• Players should wear athletic shoes and clothes. 

• A solid breakfast or after school snack and plenty of water will fuel you for practice. 

• Do you have your own basketball? Bring it! Make sure your name is on it. If you don’t have your own basketball, don’t worry. We have some at Copeland too.

• Safety is always our top priority. If a basketball player is being unsafe in any way, coaches will address the behavior. If the behavior is not corrected, it may result in loss of playing time. 

• See "schedule" tab for the practice schedule.

• If you have any questions, please check the basketball website first.
