Our program will have a wide range of skill sets and all players who are interested in playing basketball are encouraged to try out.  We will have a Freshman, JV and Varsity team, but we encourage all players to try out for JV and Varsity as we will select the most talented players for these teams first.  All players trying out are required to be registered FamilyID and have a completed physical on file to be eligible. 

What To Bring:  All players should bring water, basketball sneakers (regular sneakers are acceptable) and we ask all players to wear shorts and a t-shirt for tryouts.  Please also wear a mask for covid protocols while entering the gym and facilities.

What to Expect:  All players will participate in breakout drills and game play to be evaluated and ranked.  Players will be expected to pay attention and follow directions as well as be ready to work hard as we will do a lot of conditioning drills, well as skills evaluation.
