FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is there for some age groups?

These age groups tryout sessions attract a very large number of participants.  To allow the coaches to assess all athletes adequately, we hold an additional tryout for new to rep athletes, and athletes from other clubs.

At that tryout, selecting coaches will choose athletes to move into the next phase of tryouts.  All athletes will receive an email to let them know if they have been successful or unsuccessful in moving forward to the next phase.

Why do U18 girls only have two tryouts?

We have a smaller number of players to assess in our girls program.  Therefore, our coaches will be able to assess and select players in two tryout sessions.

Why are players not allowed to wear a rep uniform?

Tryouts can be a nervous time for many participants, especially participants who have not yet played representative basketball.  To create an “even playing field”, we ask that athletes don’t wear their rep uniform.  Please note, domestic uniforms are fine to wear.

When and where will be the parent information session?

We'll email all registered participants to inform them of when the parent zoom meeting will be held.  It will be held closer to the tryouts.
