MORE INFORMATION TO COME- SUMMER UPDATE IN PROGRESS

Coach Brudos – 8th Grade
– 8th Grade
Coach Washington – 

First Day of Practice: October 27, 2025

Practice Times: 3:30-5:00

Purpose

The purpose of the Longfellow basketball program is to give students the opportunity to participate as a member of a team in a school setting. The purpose is to challenge student/athletes to better themselves not only as basketball players, but also as students and representatives of Longfellow.

Schedule and Practice Expectations

The season schedule is online and practice is every day after school unless there is a meeting.  Attendance at practice is not optional. Due to mandatory meetings and other school requirements, our practices are very limited, and therefore are critical to our team development. If a player cannot attend a practice for an excused absence (appointment, school function, etc.), a note must be provided to a coach before the event. Unexcused absences will result in loss of playing time.

Eligibility

All student/athletes are eligible to participate if they meet these requirements:

1. A valid WIAA physical card on file in the office.

2. Completion of the “On-line Athletic Registration” that is on the Longfellow website.

3. Compliance with “Co-curricular Activities Code” found on the Longfellow website.

4. Minimum of 7 practices before playing in a game.

 

Travel

Transportation will be provided to and from road games. Players are encouraged to ride to and from the games with their team. However, if a parent/guardian wishes to take their child home after the game, they must sign the school district transportation decline form.  Players can only ride home with immediate family members.  Failure to follow this policy can result in suspension.
