The Basketball Program consists of four levels of competition: eighth grade, ninth grade, junior varsity, and varsity.
Varsity and junior varsity basketball begins with conditioning and weight training in the fall. The official beginning of practice is determined by LHSAA regulations. Currently, that is the second Monday in October. Junior High tryouts will take place in the Fall. Varsity and junior varsity seasons begin in late November and run through late February. Team members are expected to attend all practices/games during the holiday seasons. Eighth- and 9th-grade teams begin in late November. Summer League/Team Camps run from the end of May through the month of June.
Team selections (all levels) are made through a tryout process.
