Basketball (Middle School Boys)

Forge International School Basketball

Boys Basketball for grades 6th, 7th and 8th at Forge International Middle School is an important part of the overall education experience for our students. Basketball provides opportunities to learn the sport as well as providing opportunities to learn sportsmanlike behavior while working as a team. We also provide a supportive environment to build life skills that will serve young men in the future.

We offer basketball for a variety of ability levels. Boys basketball is a competitive team or teams depending on enrollment numbers. The expectations are to be present and participate at practices and all games. Students will have an academic progress check bi-weekly to ensure players are completing school work and are principled in the classroom.
