Villa Hoops

Happy to announce that we have a new assistant coach Cooper Woods, he was born yesterday on Thanksgiving....

Practices start next week, here are some things you can do to get ready for the season:

*Make sure you have proper shoes and basketball attire

*Get out and have full speed training sessions working on the skills you need for the season

* Have a growth mindset, ready to face and overcome adversity

See you guys in the gym soon!

Basketball season is coming up soon, and we are getting excited to coach this season. We will be doing more updates and going to be more active this season on this page. Please make sure to like and share this page with other Villa parents.

Winter break is the best opportunity you have to work on your skills during the basketball season. You have snapshot of how you performed during the beginning of the season to look back on and determine what you need to improve or enhance. What better way to work on your game then to work with Watts Basketball for Holiday Hoops camp.

Happy Monday,

All the teams had games this weekend and they all did a great job of competing and playing hard.

The 5th grade boys won their game against St Benedict

The 5th grade girls had to forfeit but the girls still played hard

The 6th grade girls had a big win vs Immaculate Conception and played strong the whole game

The 6th grade boys lost a close one to St Mary Magdalen, but they fought hard the whole game

The 7th grade boys won big and had a strong 2nd half to beat Lakeside

The 7th grade girls beat Sacred Heart 18-14 making big shots down the stretch to hold off a comeback

Most importantly all the teams got better and we saw improvements across the board. All practices will be today, and we look forward to this weekend's games. Go Vikings!!!
