4. Team Carolina Tryout Process
90 minutes of skill training, physical training, and mostly, 5-on-5 game play!
Multiple coaches will evaluate each individual athlete.
ALL athletes, including those who have been with Team Carolina in the past are evaluated using the same criteria, and are given the same opportunity to make a team.
Coaches Look For:
Fundamental Skills
Competitiveness
Energy on the Court
Enthusiasm to Play
Eagerness to Learn
Athleticism
A Good Teammate
Positive Attitude
Long Term Potential
Coaches do not keep track of points scored in
tryouts. They watch a player’s approach to
playing. Do they sprint, or are they passive? Are
they willing to make a pass to a teammate or do
they look to shoot every time they touch it?
Coaches look for players who are committed,
have a great work ethic, and want to be a part of
a special group of young men and women in
forming a TEAM.

A registration link will be posted on our website and athletes are required to register in advance. Please click the link and fill in all appropriate information.
An online signed participation waiver (within tryout registration form) is required to be eligible to attend tryouts.
We suggest arriving to tryouts minutes early to allow adequate time for registration, check-in and athlete preparations. There will be long lines to register (depending on age group)

6. Team Carolina Team Selection Process
We field teams in every age group, and some age groups will have multiple teams.
Coaches maintain an ongoing evaluation flow chart for each player attending. Coaches reference these assessment forms in addition to considering input from other Coaches, AAU Directors, and affiliated staff in making their recommendations.
After Tryouts are completed, meetings are conducted with the executive committee in which each player is discussed and final roster spots are awarded.
Tryouts are required to be eligible for a roster spot.
Teams have limited roster spots. Depending on the team, the size of the roster may only have 10, 11 or 12 total available spots.
No players are offered a roster spot during the tryout or in front of other athletes or parents.

7. The Notification
Individual Results are ed to each tryout participant by the designated time announced at Tryouts. We also will post the TRYOUT NUMBER ASSIGNED on the website. We will not post individual players names online.
Players who were not selected will be contacted directly informing them of their options that would include attending another tryout offered later in the year, or being placed on a wait list. Further, specific training programs will be recommended to facilitate improvement in the areas identified by the evaluation staff.
