Abington Friends School

About the Program: Middle School Girls Basketball at Abington Friends School offers an opportunity for 5th-8th grade students of all levels of prior experience to participate in the interscholastic basketball program.  With a focus on individual skills development and age-appropriate team offensive and defensive concepts, AFS Girls Basketball coaches hope to foster in their players a love for the game, a willingness to work collectively towards shared goals and an appreciation for healthy competition. Older and more experienced players comprise an “A Team” roster while younger and less experienced players play on the “B Team.” There are, however, no grade restrictions on A & B team participation as coaches make every effort to assign students to a team level that offers them the best chance for success. Both teams play a 10-14 game schedule against similarly skilled local opponents during the winter season between the beginning of December and the middle of February. AFS Middle School Girls Basketball practices 4 times per week from 2:50-4:00pm.
