    Basketball Season Kickoff Meeting

    We will start off this years basketball season with review of the Part 1 Basketball test on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at 7:00 PM.

    Regional Office of Education
    201 E Grove St. Suite 300
    Bloomington, IL

    The IHSA is trying to get the test and rules video available sooner than October 22, in either event it will give everyone time to go through their test before the review on October 30. I would assume we could get through the review within about 1.5 hours. I will try to respect everyone’s time and get us through the review as quickly as possible. Hope to see everyone at the review session.

    Thanks,
    Chris White - VP of Basketball
