WHAT WE LOOK FOR AT TRYOUTS (THAT SHOULD CARRY OVER THROUGH THE SEASON):
* Students with good basketball skills or with enough athletic ability and potential,
and the willingness to learn the necessary skills
* Student-athletes with positive, team oriented attitudes.
We want this to be a fun experience for everyone- We need full buy in from everyone.
* Students must be eligible academically at the time of tryouts.
* Student-athletes that are team players and unselfish, willing to play whatever role
they are asked to help the team the most.
* Student-athletes who practice hard every day and who want to get better
* Student-athletes with good potential and the willingness to learn.
THINGS TO KNOW IF YOU MAKE THE FINAL CUT AND ARE ON THE TEAM:
* every player is required to pay a SACS transportation fee of $10
* every player should purchase a team shooting shirt with # on back (name is optional)
* The girls who make the team will decide if they want a signup for snacks on away games. If
they do, we need parents to help with team snacks for away games and a possible team party.
* For away games, students should go home after school, bus usually leaves at 4:00pm at the
earliest.
