Jr. Patriots Try Outs are set for 2021-22 Season/D1 Partnership
New for the 2021-22 Jr Pats season, D1 Training and the Junior Patriots Basketball board members have reached an agreement on eight sessions. Trainers from D1 will be coming to Parkway South during practices to lead our student athletes in basketball specific training drills! The board members are hoping the players will build core strength, improve jumping ability, build quickness and become better athletes.
The agreement will also include an opportunity for boys basketball, girls basketball, wrestling and football players in the Parkway South feeder programs to attend a summer camp at D1 Manchester specifically for those athletes!
