Parents, Players, and Coaches:
Before I get to the schedule I wanted to take a moment to congratulate Chad Miller who played in the North vs South Orange County All Star game on Saturday night. Chad’s North team won the game 124-105. Chad was a starter in the game and played over half the game scoring 13 points and grabbing a bunch of rebounds. Chad will also be playing in the North vs South Orange County football game. There are very few athletes that have played in both games.
If you are in receipt of this email I am assuming that you are continuing forward in the basketball program. If this is not the case please let me know and I will remove you from my email list.
I still have one detail to confirm on the May schedule but here is a look at the next two weeks.
4/28 – 5/3
Monday: All – 6th period outside + Varsity training 3:30-4:30
Tuesday: All – 6th period gym
Wednesday: V/JV – 0 Period gym + 6th Period training
Others – 6th period outside
Thursday: All – 6th period outside
Friday: Off
Note: The weight room will not be open this week outside of the training period this Monday & Wednesday
5/5-5/10
Monday: V/JV 0 Period Gym – Others: 6th Period Outside
Tuesday: All - 6th Period Gym
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: All – 6th Period Gym
Friday: Off
Note: The weight room will not be open this week outside of the training period this Monday & Wednesday
A revised look at the calendar beginning on May 12 is: (note - details will be final when the month calendar is sent out)
Note: beginning on 5/12 players will not have 6th period class unless we are going during 6th period. They will be able to go home after 6th period just like the regular season.
At this time players should cut down any practice or workouts with outside teams/trainers. Players will not be excused from our schedule to practice with outside teams.
When we reach the start of summer practice players will not need to participate with outside teams.
Monday: All: training with Starting Line 3:30-4:30 FHS weight room
Tuesday: Varsity & JV Practice 6:30-8:30 FHS Gym
Soph Practice 4:30-6:30 FHS Gym
Wednesday: All: training with Starting Line 6th Period FHS weight room
Varsity & JV Practice 6:00-8:00 FHS Gym
Thursday: Varsity & JV Practice 6:30-8:30 FHS Gym
Soph Practice 4:30-6:30 FHS Gym
Friday: All: training with Starting Line 4:00-5:00 FHS weight room
Saturday: Varsity & JV Practice 9:00-11:00 FHS Gym
Soph Practice 11:00-1:00 FHS Gym
We will have off days on the following days:
May 22-26 due to conflicts in the gym and the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend
FOOTBALL PLAYERS: those in spring football will not need to attend the Starting Line training sessions as they are training with the football team. Each football player will need to meet with me prior to 5/12 in order to discuss their spring practice schedule attendance.
Thanks,
Coach Van Cleave
April 16th
Parents and Players,
I wanted to take a moment to give you a heads up. On Monday May 12th we will begin spring practice, which means we can go after school. At the Varsity and JV level we will be training with Starting Line Fitness as well as practicing with the coaching staff. These workouts will continue through 6/20. On Monday 6/23 summer basketball will begin.
First – If any player has decided not to play next season I would like to know that as soon as possible. I need to know who is continuing forward with the program so I can set up our workouts in the spring and summer. Players wishing to no longer play can let me know by email, voice mail, or in person.
A sample Varsity/JV week may look like this:
Monday – 3:30-4:30 Training & 4:30-6:00 practice in the Gym
Tuesday – Practice 6:30-8:30
Wednesday – 6th Period Training
Thursday – Practice 6:30-8:30
Friday – Training 4:00-5:00
Saturday – Practice 12:00-2:00
A sample sophomore week may look like this:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday 2:00-3:30 (outside or in the gym)
Saturday 2:00-4:00 (in the gym)
These examples are as involved as it can get. Most weeks we will be less involved than this. I will have the calendar for May finalized and to you by the middle of next week at the latest.
These practices and workouts are mandatory for those that would like to make one of our teams next year. For those in spring football you will not be required to attend the “training” sessions since you are already “training” with the football program. However you will be expected to attend the practice sessions.
We will be taking various breaks during the last month of the school year due to gym conflicts and finals. Summer information will be forthcoming.
If anyone has any questions or concerns please let me know.
Best regards,
Coach Van Cleave
April 6th
The weight room will be closed this Monday night so we can watch the NCAA championship game. We will be back on schedule on Wednesday night. The rest of the schedule for the week will be as scheduled on the calendar.
Thanks,
Coach Van Cleave
April 1st
Parents, Players, and Coaches:
I have attached the April Basketball Calendar (also in the download section). Please let me know if you have any questions. For those that are currently in spring sports you are welcome to attend our workouts, especially on non-game days.
Please take advantage of the open weight room on Monday and Wednesday nights at 7:00 PM and Saturday morning at 8:00 AM. We will be incorporating many of the lifts that the Starting Line trainers are doing in our afternoon lifting.
Thanks,
Coach Van Cleave
