Evaluations

Basketball evaluations are sessions where players demonstrate their skills to coaches for team placement. Players perform various drills like shooting, dribbling, and defense to showcase their abilities. Coaches use these evaluations to assess players' skills, attitudes, and potential contributions to the team. It helps to ensure fair and balanced team selection based on each player's strengths and areas needing improvement. Everyone will make a team there are no cuts.

What to Bring:

• Athletic attire and appropriate footwear

• Water bottle

• Positive attitude

Notes:

• All participants must attend for team placement
