Boy's Basketball
Boy’s Basketball
NHS Boy’s Basketball is dedicated to forming young men to become productive citizens of the community. We work to uphold strong moral character, promote the Nolensville Knights, and represent the Nolensville Community in a positive way. Being apart of this program is a privilege not a right. We strive to create a safe environment for our players and center our work around the three key beliefs: Family, brotherhood, and togetherness.
Expectations
Basketball players are expected to be at every scheduled season practice and game. Regular season activities begin the last week of October and can go through the beginning of March. Off season activities are split up into three categories. Fall workouts typically begin the second week of August and consist of an extensive weightlifting and conditioning program. Spring workouts typically begin two weeks following the season and include one week of spring practice before exams. The final off season category is summer workouts, which include team camps in June and open gym activities in July. We expect our players to excel both in the classroom and on the court.
Tryouts
Basketball tryouts are held each spring for the following year on the last day of school. Incoming freshmen will tryout separately on this day. Please check the newsletter or NHS Basketball Twitter for times.
