Basketball
“Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.” John Wooden – former UCLA head basketball coach and winner of ten NCAA National Championships
Here at St. Joseph Catholic Parish School we push our basketball athletes to become the best they can possibly become so that they can experience true success. This does not come without hard work and high expectations, though. As a direct result, our girls’ middle school team won the 2010-2011 Athens Area Middle School Championship.
Our season officially begins in late October and runs through February. SJS teams play other private schools including Gatewood Academy, Westminster Christian School, Piedmont Academy, Bethlehem Christian Academy, and Loganville Christian Academy. SJS 6th grade boys and girls also play in local feeder leagues during the season so they can maximize playtime. Once the season is over, many of the girls continue playing in the Northeast Georgia Feeder Spring League. This keeps our girls in the game with a minimal time commitment, while allowing them to play other school sports. This is strictly optional, but we find that most of our athletes want to continue to better themselves.
