The Hilton Cadets Boys Basketball Program
fields five teams - Varsity, Junior Varsity, Freshman,
and 7th and 8th Grade Modified Basketball.
The Varsity level of
athletic competition is the culmination of each sport’s
program. The goal at the varsity level
is to prepare to win and to strive for victory in each
contest. However, it is also important to know there is
focus on team play and sportsmanship.
At the Junior Varsity and
Freshman level, emphasis continues to be placed
upon team play, sportsmanship, physical conditioning,
and refinement of basic skills. These two programs
prepare student-athletes for the varsity level of
competition by working towards an achievement of balance
between team and player development and striving for
victory.
The Modified level is
primarily designed and made available to
student-athletes in Grades 7 and 8. This program
prepares student-athletes for the next level of
competition by placing emphasis on sportsmanship,
learning athletic skills and game rules, fundamentals of
team play, socio-emotional growth, physical
conditioning, and healthy competition.
