BASKETBALL

All students in grades 1^st through 12^th have an opportunity to participate in basketball at Columbia Academy.  To become a member of a team, students must meet eligibility requirements of Columbia Academy and MAIS, sign up, and attend all practices. The PeeWee Basketball Team is made up of 1^st through 4^th graders.  We have a 5^th and 6^th grade Travel Team, who get the opportunity to compete against other teams in our area. Our Junior Varsity team is made up of students in grades 7^th through 9^th, and our Varsity team is made up of students 10^th through 12^th.

Team members are required to attend all practices and games, and also attend the summer team camps help at Madison Ridgeland Academy. Practices are held at specified times Monday through Friday, before and during basketball season.

Our Varsity Boys Team has held winning records 7 of the last 8 years, and our Varsity Girls Team has had winning records the last 4 years. Our Varsity Teams will be playing in the South State Tournament, after placing 3^rd in the District Tournament.

In 2011, Columbia Academy will be hosting the South State Tournament, and hope to eventually host the MAIS State Tournament.
