We are looking forward to another season of girls basketball at GMS.  In order to try out for our girls basketball team students will need:

• A sports physical dated after April 1st of 2023.

• A signed COVID 19 Informed Consent form.

• We recommend each player bring their own water bottle.

• Students should bring a snack to eat prior to tryouts.

The physical and COVID 19 informed consent forms can be found here. Scroll down and select the link for each form. 

• GMS will have separate grade level teams in basketball: a 7th grade team and 8th grade team. Head Coach is Jessica Cooper and email is: JessicaCooper@pickens.k12.sc.us

• Families should upload all required physical forms and documents to PlanetHS Big Teams website. If you already participated in a GMS/EHS fall sport this has been done. Instructions provided at https://drive.google.com/file/d/12pdWI7a1RUlcsrGfZ017yn8RCdoMnuDd/view?usp=sharing

• Criteria for consideration of student athletes always includes satisfactory academic grades, attendance and behavior. In addition, tryout criteria that will be evaluated and used for team decisions will include: shooting, passing, ball handling, rebounding, defense, skill drills, competitive drills, coachability, team player, attitude and strength within position.

7th grade games start 5:30 unless noted and 8th grade games are to follow behind the 7th grade games.
