Hi Folks,
Time for a mid-Spring update.
As mentioned in my previous newsletter, we are very excited
to be having Veronika Lavergne join us for next season. Here is the link to her press release:
We are busy preparing to host the JUEL & JUEL-Prep Championships on the May 13-15 weekend where
52 games will be played over the 3 days.
The JUnior ELite of Ontario is comprised of 14
teams (Gr. 11 & 12s) from across the province, with the same number of
teams for the Prep division (Gr.9 & 10s).
We are still in need of scorers, timers or shot clock operators if
anyone is interested in helping out – the calibre of basketball will by very
high.
The OUA All-Star game
is being played in conjunction with the JUEL Championships again this
year. The game will feature 3 Queen’s
players: Jenny Wright, Robyn Pearson and Myriam Fontaine and will be played on the Main court at Queen’s,
with a 7:30pm tip off on Saturday, May 14.
Admission is free!
The Alumni Weekend
is shaping up nicely – October 14-16
(also the University’s Homecoming Weekend).
We will be hosting our Alumni Game on the Saturday, followed by our
Reception & Silent Auction, honouring team members from the 2000-01 to
2004-05 teams. The Tindall tournament
will feature teams that were all in the Top 10 this past season: Alberta, Laval, Acadia and, of course, Queen’s!
Lastly, the first of our Basketball Camps gets underway in late May – the Elite Training & Scrimmage Camp for
female players entering Gr. 9 and those entering Grs. 10-12 (two
divisions). Both camps are near full. Girls and Boys entering Grs.2-5 are well
serviced with our Half Basketball/Half
Volleyball Camps in July (2 camps) and our Basketball Camp in mid-August.
The Basketball Academy (girls
& boys divisions) follows the Basketball Camp in August. Lastly, our Jr. Girls Team Camp is slated for the 10th of September
(coaches can contact me directly about the Team camp). Please see the Sport Specific Camps section:
That’s it for now.
Cheers,
Dave.
