Due to player feedback on outstanding academic work and academic deadlines, the following changes have been made to the schedule for the last 10 days of the off-season:

10/19 GREEN DAY IS CANCELED!

10/23 GREEN DAY IS CANCELED!

10/24 BLUE DAY - Shorter Time - 4:30-6 pm (bring court shoes to run) start in weight room; end at Belmont

10/26 LAST GREEN DAY - Gr 9-10 at 7-8:30 AM in RV Main  /// Group 2 w/ Coach Gallagher TBA

Coach Koscinski is pleased to announce that Jerome Diggs is replacing Ben Digges (no relation) as our new freshmen basketball coach.  Koscinski stated that "Coach Diggs brings a wealth of playing and coaching experience in club basketball.  Coach Diggs challenges players in workouts and brings valuable experience as a former point guard to our program.  I love that he has been in many intense games and had to out compete players in front of him to win a starting job for himself.  Coach Diggs comes from a basketball family where basketball is much more than a game, it's a lifestyle.  He will fit in just fine at Riverside!"

New schedule for this week due to holiday weekend

Boys Basketball this week:

Mon., Aug 28 7-9 pm
(Group 1 in main / Group 2 in aux at RV)

Tues., Aug 29 4:30-6:15 pm
Weight Room for ALL

All groups must have their green day workouts on the same day.  Due to the Thursday night football game at Riverside, Group 1 cannot practice so we have to move the green day for group 1 and 2 to Friday the 15th.

Group 2 will NOT meet Thursday AM but will meet Friday at 7-8:30 AM.

Group 1 is now practicing on Friday at 7-8:30 PM.

Rams Boys’ Basketball Program Fall 2023

(Due to space constraints and participation, we split into groups. Please attend the session with your designated level for the fall)

Group 1 = Var Returners / Group 2 = Gr. 9 – 11

Please Note:

Athletic forms required!

*Players must attend practices regularly in order to be considered for the Fall Shoot Out events.

Try-Outs:

*Try-Outs are November 6, 7, & 8

*Players trying out for the basketball program make a commitment to their team and the program.  RVHS Basketball events take priority over any other sport or non-class related requirements.  We practice over vacations and Holidays including Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, MLK & Presidents Days. 

*Please understand the schedule expectation of the season and how “previously scheduled events” are not an acceptable absence.

*Participating in off-season events helps prepare players for try-outs.  Making the team or a certain level is not guaranteed.

Holidays:

Practices & games occur over the Holidays.  Family Vacations are not excused absences. Please plan accordingly. At this time, this is what we can foresee as days off over the Holidays: Previously arranged plans are not considered excused absences & other outside sports teams must come second to a school team when in season.

Thanksgiving Holiday Week: JV & Freshmen are OFF Wednesday thru Friday but return Saturday afternoon. Varsity will practice Friday & Saturday after Thanksgiving.

 December Holidays:

The Freshman & JV teams will be off 12/22 thru 12/27; practice resumes 12/28. 

Varsity will be off on 12/23-12/25 and is back in action 12/26-12/30. No practices 12/31 & 1/1.
