We had a great turn out last weekend at tryouts. All the players gave it their all during their evaluations and it is great to see the program growing each year. We appreciate the help of all the board members, evaluators and players to help it run smoothly.
Our teams change year to year with new registrants coming in to the program, advancements in ability due to hard work in the off season, players leaving the program, etc. You may not be at the same level you were last year, you may not be on the team you hoped for, or may not even be placed on a competitive team at all. The evaluators give us an honest opinion of where they think each player will have the best opportunity for personal growth and basketball development.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and look forward to a positive basketball season ahead!
