Basketball

The DMS Lady Wildcats basketball team will be competing against other middle schools in Gwinnett County for several regular-season games and playoffs. Basketball is a gritty sport that requires teamwork, coordination, and toughness, both mental and physical. A variety of personalities and people are needed to help achieve the team’s full potential, as there are always five different positions on the court. You do not have to be the most skilled but definitely must have a willingness to listen and work hard. You must have a current physical on file to try out and participate and you will be expected to maintain passing grades in all classes throughout the duration of the season.

Practice:

Mon – Fri after school

Games:

Saturday mornings

Thursday evenings

Tryouts:

TBD (end of Oct)
