What paperwork do I need to fill out for tryouts?
Please have the following paperwork completed for tryouts:
What to expect during tryouts?
Players will run through a variety of drills and some scrimmage play to evaluate their current skill set. These will be very common drills, with straight forward objectives. Players should arrive wearing athletic attire, with appropriate court, gym shoes. Please arrive 15-20 minutes early to get checked in.
What if I cannot attend tryouts?
If you are unable to attend our tryouts, but would like to be considered for the team, you’ll still want to register and complete the necessary paperwork to be eligible to be selected. Registering will ensure you’re on our list of possible candidates; be sure to leave a registration note indicating you will not be in physical attendance. You may be contacted later in the week with an offer.
In order for us to consider your athlete for the team, we need to get some court time with them to evaluate them. Please consider attending one of our open gym scrimmages or club prep clinics so we can get to know you, and you can meet some of our coaching staff.
How will I know if I made the team?
Following the tryout assessments, we will contact every player via email with placements. We will also contact you if you did not make a team. Some offers will be sent the day of tryouts, as soon as we can get them out; we ask for your patience as we understand this can be stressful for the athletes, so we want to take our time to make sure no errors are made in communication. But we will work hard to get this information out as soon as possible, the day of tryouts.
