What is Compass Basketball

Basketball is a middle school only sport and offered through the Middle School Sports Program (MSSP) that the Jeffco League provides to 6th-8th grade students.

In their inaugural season in Spring of 2022, our mixed team of 7th and 8th graders finished the regular season with a 5-0 record. The competed well and showed grit and drive in the end of season tournament and and went 2-1, ultimately losing to eventual champions in the semi-finals. Below outlines everything you need to know about the upcoming season!

You need to REGISTER HERE to participate in Compass Basketball. In addition to this registration, if you haven't already, you are required to submit a recent copy of your child's physical (must be within a year of the start of the season), and the Athletics Release form. You only need to submit the Athletics Release Form once per school year. Please note that we won't allow anyone to participate on day 1 of practice unless they have a current physical. The physical submitted must be the Compass form linked above.

Who Can Participate: Boys and Girls 6th grade - 8th grade can compete in games and practice once per week. The number of teams we will have is dependent on how many students register.

As we are a Middle School Sports Program team participating in the Jeffco league, the competitive meets are for those in "middle school" (6th to 8th grade, per the district's definition of middle school). Our teams are usually mixed gender and mixed grades.

If your child is younger than 6th grade and wants to train, please reach out to coach Charley directly.

We welcome ANY and ALL athletes, no matter their abilities, size, or experience. Whether you are someone new to sport, someone looking for ways to stay healthy, or a seasoned "baller", we want you to join our team!
