The 10,000-shot club is for St. Francis Basketball Association players who MADE 10,000 shots from March to September.

New this year was the 2,000-minute challenge, which we had one athlete complete.

Each of the recipients logged their shots and minutes and submitted them to the board at tryouts.

This year there are 6 recipients who succeeded in the challenge. 
Combined they made over 60,000 shots and over 2,000 dribbling minutes!

The 10,000 recipients from the boys and girls' programs are:
First time recipient - 4th grader Sophie Schoenrock
Second time recipient - 4th grader Haley Schoenrock
Fourth time recipient - 7th grader Emily Schoenrock
First time recipient - 5th grader Carter Blood
Second time recipient - 7th grader Kohin Larsen
Second time recipient - 5th grader Owen Miller 
Owen is also the first athlete to complete the 2,000-minute challenge

Congratulations to all these athletes on their amazing accomplishments.

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!  We encourage all SFBA players to take the challenge this year.
 

Thank you to everyone for their support for the event.  

In the past we have raised money for a local family that needs help, this year Brian Julson's family (the school's Athletic Director) has been chosen. 

They have had a pretty rough couple of years with their youngest son, Carter. Carter was diagnosed in November of 2019 with Cardiomyopathy ARVC. He then had an ICD implanted in his chest in January of 2020 as he was at an advanced stage of ARVC. At that time, a heart transplant was a possible scenario down the road. Fast forward, November 24, 2021, Carter went in for some routine post-op surgery checkups and during an echocardiogram, they found a blood clot in his left ventricle. He was then readmitted into ICU back down at the Mayo Hospital. To make matters harder, they have told them now that a heart transplant is no longer a possibility, it is a necessity.

Sunday Open Gyms

Open Gyms will be held at St. Francis Middle School from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.  An adult supervisor will be present.

We are in need of volunteers to help supervise these dates. If your schedule allows for it, you can sign up here to volunteer.  Volunteers will need a background check on file with the school.

Tournament Schedules are usually posted on Tuesday the week of the tournament. Typically the coaches are notified when schedules are posted, please check in with your coaches. Another way you can look is to find the association's website on the MYAS site. https://myas.org/basketball/traveling-basketball-website-listings/

If you choose Ship to Organization, it will be delivered to SFBA who will then distribute it to players at practices.
