Basketball

Welcome to Truman Basketball! Here at Truman, we welcome all students to try out for the basketball team in October. We have a boy and a girl's team and the team usually consists of around 12 players. Players are expected to be student athletes and prioritize getting at least a 2.0 GPA with no major behavior offenses. We teach students the fundamentals such as dribbling, shooting, defense, and general knowledge of the game. Students get to play 8 games against other middle schools in our district. Mr. Meeks and Mr. Woolridge are excited to watch the development of our players throughout the season!"

Middle school students should join a basketball club to improve their skills, boost their confidence, and gain more playing time outside of school practices. A club environment offers focused coaching, extra practice, and the chance to compete at a higher level, helping students refine their technique and learn new strategies. It’s also a great way to make new friends, stay active, and be part of a supportive team that shares a passion for the game. Joining a basketball club helps students grow as athletes and can fuel a lifelong love of the sport.
