Girls basketball open gym Thursday, 6:30-8 at First Assembly in Rolla

Running club, Tuesday morning at 7am, meet at the Rolla Junior High Track, Thursday morning 7am at Steeplechase Park, Saturday morning 7am at Steeplechase Park! ​

RHAA Girls Basketball will be conducting pre-season basketball clinics on Thursdays, 6:30-8 at First Assembly in Rolla, beginning on 8/30. 

​There is no charge for this clinic. This is open to girls ages 12-18, who are interested in trying out for this year's basketball season.  Please wear appropriate attire and bring a water bottle.  

***Changing Thursday running to morning to be available for CHESS picnic Thursday evening.***

​Homeschool students 12 and up and their parents or older siblings are invited to join in a running club.
The purpose of the running club is to gain endurance to prepare for another sport or just for general health and have some companionship while doing so.
We will meet at Steeplechase Park on Coventry Lane. (Turn south on Aintree Rd at the KTTR Studios on Soest.) We will stretch and go over a short running tip and then divide up into groups. I will have route maps for about 3 miles, 2 miles, and 1 mile that start and return to the park. The goal is to run as much as you can and try to improve your personal endurance. The routes are on streets so runners will need to obey normal pedestrian rules.
The park has a basketball court and a playground.

Parents and players,
​
Coach Johnson and Coach Davis are still in the process of determining teams. They want to look at the boys one more time.  So, boys will meet on Tuesday for teams to be decided.  On Thursday,  the teams will be divided for practice.  We are currently in the process of trying to get another gym/gyms for next week. Place and time will be announced at the end of the day on Monday.  

The girls will continue their practices on Tuesday and Thursday evening, 6-8 at Immanuel Lutheran.  Their time is subject to change if the boys need to share the gym for Tuesday's tryout.  An email will be sent out to confirm all of this. 

Thanks for your patience!

Homeschool Families,
2017 – 2018 Basketball Season
Important, please read!
Parents’ meeting is Tuesday, October 10, 2017 at the Rolla Middle School Track at 5:45 pm.  At least one parent and all players must attend this meeting.  We will be discussing the basketball season, eligibility requirements, and rules of RHAA.  It is important to attend, however a make-up parents’ meeting will also be held on the 17th, if needed. 
I need to correct the age eligibility.  According to MSHSAA (Missouri State High School Athletic Association) rules, those eligible must not have reached 19 years of age prior to July 1.  Our conference tries to follow the MSHSAA eligibility requirements as closely as possible.
There will be an additional conditioning opportunity tonight, Monday, October 9, 2017 at Rolla Middle School Track.  If you can make it, please do.  This will help you be more prepared for the basketball season. 
Tryouts will continue this Tuesday, October 10, and Thursday, October 12, 2017 at the Rolla Middle School Track.  If you plan on playing basketball this year, you must make these dates.  This is part of the tryouts for this season.  Volleyball players are exempt this week. 
Tryouts will continue the following two weeks on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  We will have a gym to use by then, however we are not sure which gyms.   Thank you for being patient while we are confirming gym usage.  We will inform you as soon as possible on locations.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 573-578-0766.
Thank You,
Walter Williams – RHAA Board President
