    Evaluation Process: 

    • Minimum of three to five coaches will be evaluating during try-outs. No parents allowed.
    • Players will need to wear a T-shirt with their last name on the back. (Not provided)
    • Players can visit Coach Waters before tryouts if they need help with a shirt to wear.
    • Three days of tryouts could be used, but cuts can occur after the first and second day of try-outs if coaching evaluations dictate a clear cut off with player skill levels.
    • Fourteen to 16 players (typically) will make the team with regard to position. For example, keeping 16 point guards is unlikely. Players are basically competing against others who play the same position (guards/forwards). It will be an advantage if a player demonstrates the ability to play both positions (versatility).
    • Google classroom will post tryout rosters. Use code: jebpcbf to join the group.
    • There are several grounds for automatic cuts:
      • Complete lack of effort, or not taking the try-out seriously.
      • Arguing, cussing, or insubordination with players and coaches during the tryout.
      • Player fails (grade below 60%) three or more classes from second-quarter final grades.
