In preparation for the season starting in early November, the STA Basketball Program is running a series of open-run, no-pressure play
sessions where Gr. 9 boys are invited to participate in scrimmage-style games to allow students to develop their skills, meet
fellow classmates and get a run in. These sessions are not practises nor evaluations; they are strictly an opportunity for you to grow
your skills and fitness in preparation for the season. STA Coach Mark Dotto, the PHE teacher and Athletic Director at St. Edmund’s, will
be present to meet those who are able to join in. Sessions will take place: Fri. Oct 18 from 5 to 6:30 pm  and Tues. Oct 22  6:45 am to 8 am

These forms will need to be attended to by parents Tuesday night and returned to Mr. O’Flynn Wednesday morning or after school from 3:05 to 3:15 pm in Room 408.  A final call for try out forms will be announced for next week.
