Welcome, McCormck Girls Basketball Families,

I am so excited to begin my first year as the McCormick Head Girls Basketball Coach! We have an incredible coaching staff dedicated to helping our student athletes grow as basketball players, students, teammates, and individuals.

This is my 11th year in education and coaching, and helping young people develop lifelong skills has always been a passion of mine. Basketball has been a huge part of my life from a young age, and I am excited to share that passion while helping our athletes strengthen their fundamentals, expand their basketball knowledge, and build confidence.

One of our biggest goals at McCormick is to prepare our athletes for success at the next level. By working closely with the Central High School basketball program, we hope to build a strong foundation that prepares our girls for the transition to high school basketball.

Beyond basketball, we want our athletes to develop teamwork, accountability, leadership, and a strong work ethic. Most importantly, we want them to have fun, build lasting relationships, and develop a love for the game.

I believe a successful program is built on strong relationships between athletes, coaches, and families. I look forward to working together to create a positive environment where every athlete feels valued and has the opportunity to grow.

Thank you for trusting us with your student-athletes and supporting McCormick Girls Basketball! I am excited for the season ahead and all we will accomplish together. Go Warriors!

Bailey Ward, Head Girls Basketball Coach
