individually and shall tabulate the total score of each player. Coaches must
note the date of tryouts, player #'s, player scores, total score, and must sign
their name on each evaluation form. Player evaluations will be confidential, NO
EXCEPTIONS!
Team Size
The recommendation for team size
is a minimum of eight (8) players and a maximum of ten (10) players per
team. It is our intent to give as many
qualified players as possible the opportunity to play basketball in their
school grade and/or age
group. Coaches should be prepared to
accept as many as 10 players on their teams. Deviations from the above will be forwarded
by the Head Coach for the age group to the coaches committee for consideration.
Notification of Teams
All players making a team shall
be notified by their team’s head coach. All players not making a team shall be
notified by the head coach. It is our
intent to give as many qualified players as possible the opportunity to play
basketball in their grade while staying
with the team size recommendation.
