Important Reminders Before Tryouts
During the tryouts, I will be looking at various things. They include, but are not limited to:
- Basketball I.Q.: Does the player understand the game, see the floor, know where to be, and read the flow of the game?
- Speed
- Basketball Skill
- "Coachability": Try to do what is asked of you, with no excuses.
- Grades
- Responsibility: Being on time, having paperwork taken care of, being trustworthy, and showing good character by working hard even when you think no one is watching.
- Intangibles
- "Give all you have and more": Show desire, drive, and determination. If I don't see it, I'll never know, so don't hold back.
Important Notes: You must be present at the tryouts in order to be considered for the team.
I only need to you once to know if you are a fit for our team.
