Here is the summer plan for Irondale basketball.  The coaches encourage you to take part.  The only sure way to improve is to put the time in during the summer.  Hoping to make the team or to be a starter is not enough.  You have to put in the work.  Remember what we said, “it is easy to be in the middle of the pack, but it takes an extraordinary effort to get to the top.”  Also, every player needs to purchase a jump rope and use it daily.  Religious use of the jump rope will improve your vertical jump and foot quickness.  See Coach DeMars with questions.

Updates will be posted on our website:  www.irondalebasketball.com

A big thank you to all who helped Saturday at the MYAS tournament we hosted.  It was very well run and a huge financial success!  

Congratulations to the Boys Varsity Basketball team for their double-overtime victory Monday night over #2 ranked Spring Lake Park! The Knights came back from a double-digit halftime deficit to win the game 104-101. Five Knights scored in double figures. Thanks to all the Irondale fans who came out to cheer!
