What Do I Need?

In order to tryout, all students must have a completed DIAA physical form on file with the school nurse prior to the tryout. (All 7 pages must be filled out). This year’s form is available for download through the website’s main menu or can be requested from our nurse’s office. Forms must be turned in one day prior to tryouts in order to be processed by our nursing staff.

Game Schedule

Games start in December and we will be playing approximately 10 -12 games against other middle schools in New Castle County. Children are expected to attend all practices and games. Most games are after school. The games are posted on www.websites4sports.com.  FSMA provides transportation to all games but students will need to picked up from home and away games or arrange rides home.

Away Games

The bus will leave FSMA with enough time for the players to arrive at the destination 30 minutes prior to the game. Players will change prior to leaving FSMA and must take everything they need with them as they will be picked up by a parent/adult at the game. FSMA does not provide transportation back to school.

Home Games

Players will be dismissed to the gym to change and warm-up prior to the game time. There is no bus transportation on these days and children must be picked up by a parent/adult after the game.

At all games, visitors are encouraged to come out and positively cheer on our basketball players. We hope you will support them in being positive role models, good sports, and strong representatives of FSMA.
