Selection Criteria:

We select players based on:

Player’s current talent and ability
How the player makes individuals around him better
Attitude of the player
Character and dedication from parents
Commitment by the player and parents
General Information:

Please bring a ball.

Tryout results will be released via email and text within 1-2 business days. You will then have 24 hrs to accept a spot or decline it. We do this so that we can finalize rosters, coaches and practice days as fast as possible and start getting to work asap for our teams.

Our tryouts are open to all players.

Unlike most clubs we do not put everyone on a high level club circuit that isn't ready. We do not believe in that and do not want to steer your player the wrong way. If not selected for our advanced teams, players will be offered a spot on our development team which will focus on getting players better and game ready with 8 weeks of practice/training followed by tournament games once a month. This will help them develop into game ready players and allow them time to adjust to the level of play gradually. We will move them to the advanced club games. There is no reason for players that aren't ready to be thrown into club games until they are mentally and physically ready. Advanced club basketball is much faster, stronger and smarter than any rec or church league. We give full access to the same coaches as our advanced club teams.
