Kids Club

The Girls Basketball team will be holding a Kids Club Clinic on November 19 from 5-7 p.m.  This is for all kids grades K-8th. The cost is $30/kid. Each kid that comes to our clinic will get a t-shirt, this shirt will get them into all of our home games FREE! Spread the word, we want to get as many kids involved in basketball as we can.

Go to https://shsgbball.wufoo.com/forms/springville-girls-basketball-kids-club/  to register and please bring your $30 to the door. We will start promptly at 5.

See you there!

Fall Basketball Kickoff Tournament

Hello Parents,
I am sure some of you are wondering what exactly is going on with our tournament. I assure you I have been trying to finalize everything and we are almost ready to go.

So many of you have donated concession items already...thank you! If you have not yet donated items, we are in need of drinks other than Gatorade. Water, soda, etc. would be great.

In addition to the concession items, we will need some help with the tournament itself. I have created a Google Doc that you all can edit and add to. Please follow THIS LINK and sign up for a time or two that works best for you and your family. You can also work out your times around when your daughter will be playing. The girls will be running the clock for most of the games but we may also need a few parents to do that as well. I don't want two or three parents to do all of the work. If each family takes a few hours we should be covered. By the way, we can turn on conference in my office so you are more than welcome to listen in between games ;)

I have also attached (SEE THE LINKS BELOW) Friday's game schedule and the rosters for each team. ALL Girls should wear shorts that are Springville colors and a red/white reversible jersey. If you don't have one, please contact me. Please keep in mind the teams were divided simply by numbers and these are by no means an indication of anything to come this season. Saturday's schedule will not be finalized until after the games on Friday.

Thank you for everything!

 P.S. Please forward this to anyone that you notice is missing.

Upcoming Fundraisers and Tournament

Hello Parents,

We are two months away from the start of our season. I am working on a few fundraisers that will hopefully keep your girls from selling things door to door. Here is the tentative fundraising plan for this upcoming season:

Pre Season Tournament
We have scheduled a tournament that we are hosting on October 4-5. We have teams coming in from all over the state.  The only expense we have for the tournament is the officials. I am working to get some of the officials to donate some time. If any of you are aware of anyone that could officiate as a donation or for a discounted price, please let me know. I will need to contact officials soon to get them lined up.

We will also have the girls and parents helping with score tables for each game as well as a small concessions stand. I was thinking of having a parent in charge of concessions and selling items like drinks and snacks. We could make some baked items to sell as well.

Please let me know if you are interested or able to help this weekend. All the money we make will go directly to the girls player packs (practice uniforms, sweats, backpacks)

Game Program
I want to continue the game program that has been done in the past. We will ask each girl to sell ads for the program. You can start spreading the word now and getting commitments from companies. The prices will be as folllows:

Back cover= $250
Inside back cover/inside front cover= $200
Full Page= $150
Half Page= $75
Quarter Page= $50
We will also have an alumni page where SHS alumni members can donate and be recognized it will be entitled, "Devils of the Past." The minimum donation for this page is $10 but any amount will be accepted.

Each girl will be asked to sell a minimum of $200 worth of ad space. If the $200 minimum is met, the player packs will be 100% covered. Please send all artwork to Coach Oakey at your earliest convenience. We want to have the program completed by our first Region Game in January.

Alumni Dinner and Silent Auction
The last fundraiser we will do is going to be an alumni dinner and silent auction. We are waiting on a date but it will take place during a region home game. Here is how it will work:

We will sell tickets for the event for $7 for adults, $5 for students and $30 for a family of 6. The ticket will get them into both the dinner and the game that night. We will have the dinner catered (I am working on Magelbys right now but am open to anyone that might be interested in catering at a discounted price) and available in the cafeteria from 5-8 p.m. This way people can bring their families to the game and get dinner while they are here. We will be able to sell to the boys team, parents, and fans as well.

In addition to the dinner we will also ask for a few items for a silent auction. The auction will be open from 5-8 p.m and the winner will be announced at half time of the boys game.

In years past, this has been a huge success. I hope that we can create a sense of unity with our alumni and with our boys program and make this a tradition for years to come.

Thank you for being so supportive as I jump in to things here at Springville. I am so excited to get the season underway and can't wait to build on the tradition that is so strong here.

Go Red Devils!

Welcome Back to School

I can't believe that summer has ended and we are ready to start school tomorrow! I have really enjoyed everything about Springville so far and I am thrilled to officially get started. 


The tradition here at Springville is incredible and it is our hope that we can continue that tradition. I have no doubt that these girls will work harder than ever in order to reach their goals. 

As we start school many of the girls are in the A4 Advanced Conditioning Class. Please print off the class disclosure HERE and bring it to class by Tuesday, August 27th.

SUCCESS...

We have had a successful summer so far. The month of June was packed full of games, tournaments, and travel. 

We had a great turnout at our camp, one of the best in years. Thank you to everyone that attended. Watch for our kids clinic in the fall. 

Our Dixie State team camp was also very successful. I think we lost a total of 5 games all week. Our JV team won the tournament and was undefeated during the week. Congrats girls. We are making HUGE strides and we are very excited about where we will be when November rolls around. 



In addition to all of our games, we have started our speed and agility training as well as our skills workouts. These are every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 9-11. Contact Coach Oakey for more information.

UVU 2 and Dixie State information

We had a great first weekend at UVU. Thanks to all of the girls and their families for making it a success. Our camp is underway and we had an AWESOME turnout today! It is so much fun to see little kids learning the game of basketball.

Our second weekend at UVU is coming up. Please be sure to pay in the financial office for each weekend your daughter plays. It is $40/weekend and should be paid by this coming Thursday. We also need you to pay the $335 for our Dixie State Team camp next week.  The financial office is closed Friday so please make arrangements to pay ahead of time.  If you cannot pay this week, please contact me to make arrangments. You will need three forms complete in order to play at Dixie:  The Medical Information form (CLICK HERE) , the Liability form (CLICK HERE), and the SHS permission slip (see Coach Oakey).  Please fill these out and have them this weekend or Monday morning when we leave.

We plan to leave the high school at 7:00 a.m on Monday morning. Please be on time! If you have any questions, please let me know.

I will also post the UVU schedule for this weekend as soon as I receive it.

If I have left anyone off that you can see, please let me know. It was probably an honest mistake. We may ask a few of the girls to play on more than one team. It will just depend on numbers. If you are listed on two teams then we would like you to do your best to be at both if possible. 

In addition, we need a permission form signed for each girl. Click HERE for a link to the form or I will have some copies tomorrow at Open Gym.

June 14-15th-- UVU Jamboree #2 ($350/team)

June 17-21st-- Dixie State Team Camp @ St. George (cost will depend on a few different things, it will probably be about $275-$300/girl)

OR

June 28-29th-- University of Utah Tournament.

I understand that Summer can be a difficult time as far as schedules. If you have conflicts with these dates, just let me know. I understand that you can't dedicate all of June to me. At the same time, it is important that we have a good turnout at these events. We want to improve over the summer and cannot do that without commitment from all of you.
