We want to provide everyone with an update on basketball here at Wheeler. This year, we will be joining the newly formed JCPS Elementary School League! This shifts our season to a little later in the year, with games starting on January 17th. This also means that tryouts will be held in late November or early December.

We are also excited to announce that for the first time ever, we will have a Girl's Basketball Team!

While we have secured a coach for the Girl's Basketball Team, we are now looking for volunteers interested in coaching the Boy's Basketball Team. If you are interested in volunteering, please email Mr. Meredith, Joshua.meredith@jefferson.kyschools.us
