Girls Basketball:

Tryouts for Basketball will be after school on Monday, November 24th and go for 3
days till Wednesday the 26th. Then you will have the Thanksgiving break off and
come back to practice on Monday December 1st. The times for practices will be either
3-5 pm or 5-7 pm depending on the level you will play at and also gym
availability. The majority of the time, basketball will either practice or play 6 days of
the week with Sundays being a day off. We will play through and practice during the
Holiday break around Christmas and New Years (Christmas and New Years will be off),
as well as the Winter Break in February. It is expected that if a girl decides to commit
to playing basketball, then she will be available during both of those breaks. Practices
and Game times will be given out in the early season to those who commit to
playing.
Practices will be in either of the two gyms at the high school, at times freshman may
be bussed to Eastbrook or Westbrook to practice there (also, depending on gym
availability)
All times and locations of games can be found on schedulestar.net
Each and every year the expectations of the coaches and players should continue to go
up. Our goals are to finish above .500, contend for a league title, gain entry into both
the county and state tournaments as well as win in each of those tournaments.
During the summer months we try to continue to better our skills individually as well
as a team by taking the girls to a college team camp (place & date TBA) as well as
compete in summer leagues locally at FDU and other High Schools. The time we work
out for the summer is usually around the third week of June to the third week of
July. That gives the girls plenty of time to plan for vacations and have some free time
before their fall season starts up.
Off season weight training and conditioning is dependent on our basketball players
playing other sports. We do not like to take our athletes away from other sports
during that season, but if a basketball player is not doing anything during the offseason then she is expected to attend off-season weight training and
conditioning. (dates & times TBA)
Once practice begins, Varsity and JV girls will be issued a practice jersey to be worn at
practice as much as possible. If they have other reversible jerseys available it is
recommended that they wear them to practice because it makes it easier to play
against one another if they have different colors on. If the are not issued a practice
jersey at the freshman level they are expected to wear a Paramus blue or white t-shirt
as much as possible to practice. The rest of the attire for practice should basically be
a pair of shorts and basketball sneakers. Water will be provided during practice.
Any questions anyone may have regarding Girls Basketball should feel free to contact
Coach Papetti at the email address above, or you can call his cell phone at any time.

The first three days of practice at the pool serve as the swimming tryout. The swim
team is a competitive team and swimmers need to be able to demonstrate competency
in at least freestyle, preferably two strokes. On the third day of pool practice, time
trials will be held at the pool, and specific freestyle times need to be met in order to
make the team. Practices are designed to improve stroke technique and overall
fitness, and swimmers are expected to attend all practices—especially those at the
pool. The season consists of twelve dual meets against local teams as well as two
championships meets. Pool practices, which begin 11/18, are held at Bergen
Community College on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights from 8:00-9:45.
For those practices, swimmers are expected to bring a bathing suit, towel, water, and
other swim gear—as outlined by the coach. When the pool is not available, dry land
practices will be held on Monday and Friday from 3:00-4:30 at Paramus High School
on the football field or in a gym/hallway. Swimmers should dress appropriately
(sneakers, shorts/sweats, etc.) and be prepared for either indoor or outdoor practice—
weather permitting. Swimmers are expected to attend practices over winter break
both at the high school and at Lyndhurst Pool. Finally, please be sure that all medical
forms—fully completed—are submitted to the school nurse by 11/1.
