WEEK OF 09.08.2025
SPORTS ACADEMY TOURNAMENT RECAP
14U (8th Grade) Team – Big Steps Forward
Our 8th grade team (14U division) had a solid showing. After a shaky start on Saturday, the group bounced back strong, closing the weekend with two straight wins on Sunday and finishing 2–2 overall.
This is a group in transition, but over their last 6–8 games they’ve proven they can be a force in the 8th grade division. This weekend was a true team effort — tough defense, efficient scoring, and unselfish play all around. Outstanding job to this group for finishing on a high note!
13U (7th Grade) Team – Battling Short-Handed
Our 13U squad competed in a Sunday-only shootout and went 1–1 on the day. Playing the first game with just five players, they fought hard, hung in through the first half, and never backed down against a tough opponent.
In the second game, the boys came together and earned the win, showing grit and growth. Once this group has their full roster, they’re going to be an up-and-coming force to watch. Super proud of their resilience!
PLAYERS OF THE WEEKEND
Tobe had a standout weekend, continuing to grow into his frame and becoming a dominant force on the inside — both offensively and defensively.
As a 6th grader playing up in the 7th grade division, Jeremiah displayed a real knack for scoring the basketball and led the team in scoring both games. We are excited to see his continued development and what the future holds!
UPCOMING TOURNAMENTS
We’ll close out the month at Sports Academy instead of OGP. The switch was made because a few of our teams need more time to build cohesiveness, and the Sports Academy environment gives us the best opportunity to do that.
ATTENDANCE REMINDER
Please remember that if a player misses practice during a game week, there’s a chance they may not be included in the game roster for that weekend. Practice is where chemistry, accountability, and growth are built—so attendance is crucial.
TRAINING & WORKOUT REMINDERS
Coach Courtney’s Strength & Conditioning Program still has availability.
Focus: mobility, flexibility, kettlebell/band work, and light conditioning.
Coach Brad's Personal Training Sessions are also availble for booking.
Focus: Dribbling, shooting, attacking, finishing, and defense.
Please reach out to Coach Brad and Coach Courtney directly for scheduling.
Let’s stay focused and locked in as we compete in our new divisions this weekend!
