BROCKVILLE BASKETBALL U19 ELITE BOYS TEAM TRYOUT INFORMATION 2022/23
The following are guidelines to assist both parents and players in making a decision to join our team. This is a serious commitment that requires both parent and player to buy in.

• MUST BE WILLING TO COMMIT TO ONE 3 HOUR PRACTICE ON SUNDAY NIGHTS STARTING IN SEPTEMBER. ONCE HIGH SCHOOL SEASON IS OVER IN MARCH WE WILL PRACTICE TWICE A WEEK. THIS IS A 10 MONTH SEASON ENDING IN MID TO LATE JULY 2023. ALSO, WE WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN A TOURNAMENT IN QUEBEC CITY OVER THE LAST WEEKEND OF CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS( JAN. 6,7,8) I WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH YOUR HIGH SCHOOL SCHEDULE!

• EACH PLAYER MUST BE WILLING TO TAKE INTENSE COACHING AND COMPETITION. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR SELF PITY HERE, BOTH AS A TEAM AND INDIVIDUAL. WE PLAY COLLEGE LEVEL TEAMS THAT ARE USUALLY OLDER, STRONGER, ETC. THE INTENT IS TO MAKE YOU TOUGHER MENTALLY AND IMPROVE YOUR SKILL LEVEL. IF YOU ARE CONCERNED WITH WINNING TOURNAMENTS AND HUNTING FOR MEDALS, THIS IS THE LAST THING WE WORRY ABOUT.

• WE WANT PLAYERS THAT HAVE ASPIRATIONS TO PLAY AT THE POST SECONDARY LEVEL. IF NOT THIS IS MOST LIKELY NOT FOR YOU.

• WE TRAVEL A LOT, SO BE PREPARED.

• MUST HAVE A VALID PASSPORT BY JANUARY 2023 AS WE WILL BE COMPETING IN THE STATES.

• EVERYONE GETS A CHANCE TO PLAY. HOW MUCH WILL BE BASED ON YOUR ABILITY TO IMPROVE AND GRASP THE SYSTEMS I IMPLEMENT.
• YOU WILL ACT APPROPRIATELY. NO TRASH TALKING, FLEXING, WHINING TO OFFICIALS OR ANYTHING THAT THREATENS THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME. AS WELL YOU ARE NOT TO DISPLAY BAD BODY LANGUAGE ON THE BENCH.

• SHOW UP ON TIME. 15 MIN EARLY.

• NO HATS, HEADPHONES, IN THE GYM. THIS INCLUDES HAVING A HOOD ON AS WELL.
