Tryout process Students in offseason basketball will need to be ready to tryout the first week of school. Any student that plans on trying out and does not play football needs to register to be in my offseason basketball class. Offseason cuts will be made on the first Friday of the school year (likely keeping 10- 15 in offseason basketball) Those not making it past the first cut of 10-15 offseason kids will be getting a schedule change out of basketball Students coming from football will tryout the day after their season ends in November. Main Factors: Basketball Skill and System Fit Grades and Behavior Dependability

Fall offseason basketball—SEPTEMBER early OCTOBER Basketball kids will workout with basketball coaches during the period We will have weightlifting opportunities everyday after school We will have open gyms for their skill development after weightlifting We plan on 4 days a week of open gyms We may also have a couple mornings each week for shooting opportunities

Regular Season---Starts Oct 25 Even though we wont make final roster decisions until football is done all offseason kids wishing to tryout are required at all workouts until that 2nd tryout in November Football kids will join for tryouts the day after their last contest (playoffs or otherwise) If football kids do not make the basketball team they will return to football offseason If offseason basketball kids do not make the basketball team after final tryouts they will get a schedule change From the start of our regular season until the end in February all workouts are 100% MANDATORY.
