Dedham Metro Hoops - Grade 8 Girls

Hoops Blog Is Back!

2008-12-26T18:49:00.001-08:00

Hey there folks, I've resurrected the hoops blog for another season. First order of business is the schedule for the upcoming tournament ... all games at Mass Premier Courts:

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27 7:00PM Court 5 vs. Narragansett
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 28 4:40PM Court 6 vs. Stoughton
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 28 7:00PM Court 1 vs. Chicopee

NO PRACTICE THURSDAY JAN. 31

2008-01-28T05:24:00.000-08:00

A reminder ... due to the Middle School team's away game this Thursday (Jan. 31), there is NO PRACTICE for the Grade 7 MetroWest team.

Next practice is Saturday, February 2 ... keep a watch on your email, as there may be a time change. If so, we will post it here as well.

Mid-Season Update

2008-01-21T09:41:00.000-08:00

Somehow, they keep winning. After pulling out another nail-biter, the team is 7-0. We are heading into the most difficult stretch of the season over the next four weeks, playing a team that is also undefeated, one with one loss, and one with two. All of these games should be extremely competitive, and should give us an idea of where we stand heading into the playoffs.

This week's Thursday practice (Jan. 24th) is business as usual ... the Middle School team plays after school, and then we practice at 6:00pm. Since the boys' Middle School team plays right after the girls game, the girls are welcome to stay at the Middle School (either watching the game in the gym or doing homework in the cafeteria) while waiting for practice to start.

The FOLLOWING Thursday (Jan. 31st) there will be NO PRACTICE. The girls Middle School team has an away game at Wellesley, and will not return to the school until approximately 6:30pm. Since this includes 6 of the 10 girls on the team, that pretty much makes practicing impossible.

MAKE-UP GAME: Saturday January 5, 6:30PM

2008-01-04T05:21:00.000-08:00

We have a make-up game against Walpole on Saturday January 5 at 6:30PM at Walpole High School. Please be at the gym no later than 6:00pm. Directions are as follows:

Take Route 1 South ... go PAST the Rte. 95 exit, then take your next RIGHT onto Common Street. Follow Common St. straight through the next traffic light at Cumberland Farms. Stay on Common St. for about another mile and Walpole High School will be on your left.

Here is a map:

Practice Update

2007-12-31T06:24:00.000-08:00

After a tough tournament, the girls gutted out a nice win on Sunday. Next practice will be this Thursday from 6:00-7:15PM at Dedham Middle School. I will speak with Tim Ruggiere on Wednesday to confirm that the girls who play on the DMS basketball team can stay in the school cafeteria from 5:00-6:00pm to study and have a snack between practices.

Tournament Schedule

2007-12-23T19:12:00.000-08:00

Okay, "Version 1" of the tournament schedule has been posted at the Mass Premier Courts website. Here is what we have for a schedule, pending any last-minute changes by the folks at MPCourts:

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27th
3:30PM vs. Foxboro
*** Game is at ForeKicks in Norfolk! *** (Directions below)

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29th
1:20pm vs. Hopkinton
3:45pm vs. Sudbury
(Both of these games are at Mass Premier)

As noted above, the Thursday game is being played at ForeKicks in Norfolk. This is a great gym, and it may actually be closer to us than Mass Premier. Directions are as follows:

Driving Directions from Boston
Take Rt. 128 or Rt. 95 to Rt. 1 south in Norwood. Follow Rt. 1 south into Foxboro (DO NOT take Pine St. exit in Walpole!). Go PAST Gillette Stadium and take a right at next traffic light (Pine St. exit, Lafayette House restaurant and Seasonal Specialty Store on right). Follow exit road to end and make a right onto Pine St (Rt. 115). Go less than 2 miles and Fore Kicks will be on your left hand side.

GAME IS POSTPONED

2007-12-16T06:45:00.001-08:00

According to the Metrowest website, Walpole has postposed all home games today ... that means our game is OFF.

Details to follow on a make-up date/time.

Game Update

2007-12-16T05:01:00.000-08:00

As of right now (8:00AM), the game is ON! Updates if needed.

Photos

2007-12-10T08:45:00.000-08:00

Parents - if you have a digital camera, please take some photos of the girls during our upcoming games. Forward them to me, and I will post them on the site. My email address is cmasalsky@aol.com. Don't worry about cropping, resizing or re-formatting the pictures - I've got Photoshop and I can take care of all of that. Thanks!!!

Middle School Hoops Study Group Thursdays

2007-12-10T06:10:00.000-08:00

For everyone who has a daughter playing on BOTH the 7th Grade Metrowest Basketball team AND the Dedham Middle School Basketball team … I spoke with a few of you yesterday about how to handle our crazy Thursday practice schedule, and wanted to let everyone in on what’s happening. On most Thursdays, the middle school team will practice from 3:45-5pm, and Metro will practice from 6-7:15 … this leaves an hour in between, during which you would normally need to pick your daughter up from school, drive home, then drive back shortly after.

To alleviate this problem, John Maida is speaking with the folks at DMS to get approval for the girls to stay in the cafeteria from 5-6pm to do their homework, study, and have a snack (BYO) before practice. Since the Middle School team is already going to the library from 2:30-3:30 on Thursdays (to have study group before practice starts), having a second session would ensure that each girl has plenty of time to get homework done without having to worry about getting home at 7:30pm needing to hit a pile of books, eat dinner, shower, etc.

The good news is we have plenty of time to work out the details. The Middle School team has no practice this Thursday (Dec. 13) due to an event that their coach (Ms. Curry) is involved in. There is also no Middle School practice on the following Thursday (Dec. 20) because they are having a team holiday party after school … there is also no Metrowest practice that evening, since our practice time conflicts with the Middle School Holiday Concert that night.

So, all of this will likely start the first week of January. Check your email and the blog for updates!

Schedules for Dedham High and Middle School Hoops

2007-12-07T09:43:00.000-08:00

Here are links to the 2007-08 season schedules for the Girls Basketball teams at the High School and Middle School:

HIGH SCHOOL

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Next Game: Sunday, 12:00 Noon, Home

2007-12-07T09:33:00.000-08:00

Following a great effort by the girls - resulting in a 35-25 victory - they will take on Sharon this coming Sunday at home. Please be there no later than 11:30am for warmups. If you can get there a bit earlier, the 8th grade girls are playing at 10:30am, and it would be nice to provide them with some support. If you can stay a bit later, the 6th grade girls play right after us. There are very few times (maybe once more this year) where the three teams play home games back-to-back-to-back, so take advantage of it while you can. It's a good chance to get to see many of the girls your daughters will be playing alongside throughout their interscholastic careers.

News on the holiday week tournament is coming soon!

Registration Form

2007-11-25T19:01:00.000-08:00

Make sure to have your signed resgistration form turned in to Coach Greg by this Thursday's practice. If you don't have a copy of the form, you can download it by clicking on this link.

SEASON UPDATE

2007-11-23T08:42:00.000-08:00

NEXT PRACTICE: Sunday 11/25/07 at the High School at 10:30am.

Practices for the season will be Thursday 6pm-7:15pm and Saturday 3:45pm-5:00pm at the Middle School. We will start this schedule on 11/29/07.

And no, your eyes were not deceiving you. This year the fee for the season is $200.00 due by the first game (12/2/07). Greg and I attended a metting last Wednesday where we saw how the fee was calculated ... basically, there are 133 players in Dedham MetroWest this year, and league expenses are roughly $26,600 ... that's $200 per head. For roughly 30 practices and 15 games, that's still pretty much a bargain (under $5/hour). I know this is a significant increase over last year (an additional $65 is nearly a 50% increase), but you can be assured that it is based solely on direct cost (referees, gyms, etc.).

I will be making some calls next week to see if we can identify a sponsor for the team in order to at least defray the cost of the winter tournament. We're sorry to pass along the news of the fee increase, but hopefully we will provide all of your daughters with an experience that will justify the expense.

Schedule and Directions

2007-11-17T15:38:00.000-08:00

The full schedule with linked directions is now in the sidebar. All directions are courtesy of MetroWest Basketball ... in other words, I didn't write them, so if they're lousy, blame them and not me.

End of the Year

2007-03-23T04:05:00.000-07:00

Last night's pizza banquet marked the end of the season ... but Coach Greg surprised everyone and now Kristen is in charge of setting up one last official team get-together at Friendly's. It will be great to have one more event as a team, especially after everything the girls accomplished this year.

Many thanks to Jim Alger for producing those incredible slide-show DVDs, as well as the game films from the last two games (and thanks to Janine for taking many of the photos!).

As John Maida mentioned, there will be free skill sessions for MetroWest players on Sunday nights starting sometime in April. This is a great opportunity for all of the girls to keep sharp and have more fun on the court together. When there is more information available, we'll post it here.

A few pics from today's playoff game...

LOCATION: Foxboro, MA

The girls will play three games (2 on one day, and 1 on another) against high level (Division 1 or 2) MetroWest teams.

Cost is $15 per player – and we need everyone who will play to hand in cash or a check to Coach Greg no later than Saturday (December 16).

GAME UPDATE
Congratulations to the girls on an excellent effort Sunday. This week's game against Canton should be challenging - they won their first game 33-13.

PRACTICE UPDATE - SATURDAYS at DEDHAM MIDDLE SCHOOL
Starting this week, we will continue to practice on Thursdays at the Oakdale School from 6-7:15pm, but we will also practice every Saturday at Dedham Middle School from 2:30-3:30pm.

Sunday December 3: Opening Day Travel Advisory

2006-12-01T09:02:00.000-08:00

Our first game is this Sunday, December 3, noontime at Mass Premier Courts in Mansfield. Mansfield is usually about a 25 minute drive from Dedham, but this Sunday's traffic heading south should be messy - because...

THERE IS A PATRIOTS GAME AT 1:00PM!!!

Anyone who has ever traveled down 95 South or Rte. 140 anywhere near Foxboro on gameday knows that the ride can be a complete disaster. My advice is to leave VERY EARLY ... if you arrive early, Mass Premier isn't the worst place to kill an hour (there are TVs, video games, snack bars, etc.) ... but if you're late, the opening whistle waits for nobody.

Check the traffic before leaving, and if 95 is a wreck, my recommendation is to take 24 South to Rte. 106 West and follow 106 all the way to the courts. That's probably about 10-15 minutes of extra drive time, but if you avoid thousands of drunken loonies all trying to make it to Foxboro before kickoff, it might be worth it.

Scrimmage Thursday AWAY

2006-11-27T12:38:00.000-08:00

This Thursday (November 30) we will be scrimmaging the team from Blessed Sacrament in Walpole. This will be our final "tune-up" for the regular season.

TIME: 5:30 PM
PLACE: Blessed Sacrament Gym, 808 East St. Walpole

DIRECTIONS: Take Route 1 South through Norwood and into East Walpole. Take a right on High Plain Street (Rte 27), and follow approximately 1 mile. Bear to the LEFT as the road then changes to East St. (but remains Rte. 27). Look for the building after about 1/2 mile.

If anyone needs a ride, I have three spaces remaining in my minivan, so call me at (781) 329-5393 to make arrangements.

Dedham Girls Varsity Home Opener

In the meantime, everyone should spend at least 5-10 minutes a day practicing their shooting form (lying on the floor, flipping the ball to yourself). And while the weather is nice, try to get outside so you can shoot, dribble and play as much as possible.

This is the online home of the 2006 Sixth-Grade Girls Dedham Metrowest basketball team. We'll post all the information you need here - schedules, directions, practice times, changes, cancellations, you name it. We will post the tryout schedule shortly, and hope to see you all for what should be an exciting 2006-07 season.

One announcement for now: the West Roxbury YMCA will be running a 7-week Sunday night girls basketball clinic series, starting on Sunday September 10th - 5pm to 7pm. The sessions will be run by experienced girls coach Marie Kelly, and cost is only $20 per girl (ages 9-12), so this is a HUGE bargain and a great way to get ready for the season. If you want to register your daughter or have any questions, call the YMCA at (617) 323-3200.
