Basketball - Girls
Program Overview:
The Greenwich High School Girls Basketball program strives to teach the game of basketball to student athletes and compete safely at the highest level possible. Sportsmanship and respect of the game, opponent, teammate, spectator and coach is a top priority of this program. Anything less WILL NOT be tolerated. The two main goals of this program are to: firstly, develop respectful young women who will represent their family and school with class on and off the court; and secondly, to teach and improve basketball skills, strategies and fitness while competing at the local and state level.
Tryouts:
The coaching staff will do their best to pick the best players that compete for Greenwich High School. Varsity players are expected to have the basic skills and some advanced knowledge to compete at the varsity level. Junior Varsity and Freshman players are selected by their skills, as well as their potential and determination at tryouts.
