Athletics - Basketball

Background
Boys basketball has a rich history at Parkside. The school is the last HWIAC school to have won an OFSAA championship and the program has had several players compete successfully in the CIS following their careers as Panthers. Basketball teams at Parkside begin formal tryouts and practices in October and play games from late November until late February or early March. The junior team is open for all boys in Grade 9 or 10 with the senior team representing Parkside’s varsity athletes. The junior and senior teams compete in HWIAC, SOSSA, and in four or five exhibition tournaments each winter. Parkside also offers a midget basketball program open to Grade 9 students each spring

Practices
Each boys basketball team practices most days during the season when games are not otherwise scheduled. Coaches emphasize strong half-court defense and adherence to team rules and concepts to achieve success. Players are encouraged to work on aspects of their game and physical fitness in the off-season. Coaches will provide work-outs in the fall and late spring for students interested in improving various skills.
