First, we hope that you all have been well through the COVID-19 outbreak and the developing next phase of youth sports. Through the shutdown, we have been painfully absent … unable to offer any programs for our youth. We understand that this may have been frustrating for you, and we assure you that it has also been frustrating for us.
We are planing for a re-start of basketball, and our first and highest priority will always be the safety of the players, coaches, families and spectators. Participation in our programs will require some additional procedures to ensure safety, and some new liability waivers will be required of parents / guardians. Details will be forthcoming prior to the commencement of our programs.
We are working with Novi Schools to understand their requirements, in addition to the guidelines contained in the Governor’s recent Executive Order.
We are in the process of designing our fall programs and setting up registrations on the Novi Cats Basketball website. We hope to have fall program registrations open within a couple weeks.
- Open Gym
- Small Group Training and Skills Development
- Tryouts (3rd through 6th grade) – historically in the 2nd week of October.Timing may have to be delayed, and we will adjust as needed.
- Tryouts (7th and 8th grade) – usually in early December, and subject to the same uncertainties.
Beyond our Fall activities, we are hopeful that restrictions continue to ease and the Winter Season occurs. We will keep you informed as we know more.
In the meantime, encourage your players to be shooting in the driveway and working on their ball-handling.
Stay tuned for updates.
