Thanks to players and parents for participating in June summer basketball. We’ve had a great commitment from many players. The July schedule will be posted soon. Enjoy your time off (have a great July 4th) and we hope to see you on July 13. By the way, we may still be in need of a couple more volunteers to drive/chaperone at the 10th/9th grade team camp.
Practice scheduled for Friday, June 26th has been cancelled. Our next practice will be Monday, July 13th. The practice schedule will be updated shortly.
All grades will practice from 4:30-6:30 on Tuesday, June 23. There will NOT be a 6:30-8:30 practice.
The game schedule for the Univ. of Detroit Mercy is now posted on the practice schedule page. The team will play on Friday, June 26, at 2:00 at Gesu Grade School (across the street from UDM’s Calihan Hall)and at 6:00 at Calihan Hall. Then on Saturday, June 27, the team will play at 9am at Gesu, 12:00 at Calihan Hall, 1:00 at Calihan Hall, and 4:00 at Gesu. Both Calihan Hall (on the campus of the Univ. of Detroit Mercy) and Gesu Grade School are located on W. McNichols (6 Mile), just east of Livernois.
We just received our schedule for the Univ. of Michigan shootout. We would like our players to arrive at Crisler Arena at 9:45am. Both teams will play at 11am and then at 1pm (12th/11th) and 1:25 (10th/9th). We won’t know the rest of our schedule until we play our first two games, but the afternoon games begin at 2:30 and the last games are at 5:30. We will be playing 2 or 3 afternoon games, depending on how we do. We (the coaches) will meet the players at Crisler Arena, so we will need parents to drive. Parents are very welcome to stay for the games.
We will need each player to sign a waiver for summer basketball. Current Mercy students may obtain a copy of the waiver form from the athletic office. Parents of incoming freshmen can sign the waiver form next week when you drop off your daughter for summer basketball.
With the end of school just around the corner, here is some information regarding our summer basketball program. Our schedule for June can be found on the practice schedule link on the right- hand side of this page under pages. Our format will be similar to the past few years in that players will be divided into two groups; with seniors/juniors (and some selected younger players) in one group (12th/11th) and sophomores/(incoming) freshmen in the other (10th/9th). We’ll go for two weeks in June and will then come back on July 13, and go for three weeks, concluding on July 30. We will practice/play games mostly in the evening hours (from 4:00pm on).
Both groups will play some games during the summer and both groups will go to camp in Gaylord. The 10th/9th group will go July 19-22, and the 12th/11th group will go July 26-29. Team camp will be by invitation. There will be a fee to play in summer games (to cover entry and referee costs), as well as the team camp. More info will come regarding fees. For team camp, we have reserved additional hotel rooms, and we will need some parents to offer to drive and chaperone.
The July schedule (practices/games) will be posted shortly, but we have our game schedule pretty well set. The 12th/11th group will play games July 14-16, 17, 22-23 and team camp (July 26-29). The 10th/9th grade groups will play games July 14-16 and team camp (July 19-22).
Finally, for our incoming freshmen, there are still spots open for our individual camp, June 22-25. Please go to the individual camp link on the right- hand side of this page under links for information, including a registration form.
If you have any questions, please contact Coach Morris at coachmorris@mercybasketball.org or gmo1@comcast.net or 734.673.3139.
Mercy will host an individual basketball camp from June 22-25. 5th-7th graders go from 9am-Noon, and 8th-9th graders from 1:00-4:00. You may download a camp brochure by going to links, then click on individual camp.
