Reminder -

BAC will be hosting free basketball skills and drills at Bow Memorial School (BMS) on Sunday nights (9/9, 9/16, 9/23 & 9/30). The girls (grades 3 through 8) will be from 5 to 6 pm at BMS, while the boys (also grades 3 through 8) will be 6 to 7 pm. There is no sign up for these events and players merely need to show up ready to play.

Players must bring their own basketball, sneakers and water bottle. Mouth guards are optional.

Typically, we will have several different stations that we will rotate the players through with an emphasis on developing or enhancing basic basketball skills (e.g. dribbling, rebounding, form shooting, passing, etc.). We will not scrimmage

IT IS TIME TO START SWINGING FOR THE FENCE!

Please join us for our 3rd Annual Home Run Derby on Saturday, June 2nd at 4pm at Gergler Field in Bow where each division of home run hitters will be awarded with the sought after pink wooden bat!

This event has such a great community showing that we are onto year #3 and cannot wait to see all of you there. Please grab your neighbors, family, and friends and join us for some dinner while also hitting cancer out of the ball park!

For 2018 we will have 4 divisions:

Ages 10 and under
Ages 11 – 14
Women’s Division
High School and Adult Division
Prizes will be awarded to each division and thanks to the Bow Rotary Club we will once again have the grill going! We just ask that you please RSVP for this event so we can plan accordingly!

Cost to enter is $10.00 for participants 10 years old and under and $20.00 for all others.

All money raised through this event will be donated to two causes this year. We will continue our support of Breast Cancer patients in our community by donating to the Helping Hands Fund at the Concord Hospital Payson Center where funds for gas, medications, food, etc. are made available immediately to those needing a little extra help. For tax deduction purposes Checks can be made payable to Concord Hospital Trust and in the memo line add “Lend them a hand fund”

Our 2nd donation will be made towards the Kristen Evans Memorial Scholarship. Kristen Evans lost her battle with cancer this year and in honor of Kristen her family has set up a scholarship that will be rewarded to a Bow High School senior. The criteria for this candidate is not based on academics but is based on kindness and what the student has done for our community. Kristen was one of the most kind, caring and giving members of our community and this scholarship is a great way to help remember the person she was.

Cancer has touched many of our lives and the success of this event will hopefully make those currently fighting the battle feel supported.

Please share this invite, spread the word and get the RSVP’s rolling in as we take a swing against Cancer!

This summer BAC will again enter basketball teams for boys and girls (separately) for grades 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 in the NH Sportszone (Derry, NH) summer basketball leagues – with games starting the week of June 18th and ending the week of August 20th. Games are played one night a week: (Tuesdays for (3rd and 4th graders) and (7th and 8th graders), and Wednesdays for 5th and 6th graders with game times starting between 5 and 8 pm). No games the week of July 4th. The cost for the summer season is $90/player.

Please note, the divisions for this summer league are based on your child’s grade for the 2018-19 school year. Thus, for example, if you have a current 2nd grader, for this summer league they will be considered a 3rd grader for the summer. If you have a current 8th grader, they will be considered a Freshman and not able to play in this league.

Due to summer schedules, it is expected that players will miss at least one or two games.

These are not instructional leagues as there are little or no practices for the teams. Due to the competitive nature of these leagues, which are geared towards the more developed basketball players in the community, BAC will have evaluations for each of these teams on Sunday June 3rd at the BHS outdoor courts (if raining, alternative location is BMS gym) as follows:

3/4 BOYS & GIRLS: 5-6pm

5/6 BOYS & GIRLS: 6-7pm

7/8 BOYS & GIRLS: 7-8pm

As team sizes are determined this weekend, no one will be allowed to play/sign up after Sunday June 3rd.

To register please go online to: https://bowathleticclub.siplay.com/site/ or www.sportssignup.com, or visit the Bow Athletic Club Website ( http://www.bowathleticclub.com ) – and follow the registration link on the left hand side of the page (titled Online Registration).
