PRE-TRYOUTS
15 PLAYER CAMP LIMIT - $20/Player $50/Player FOR ALL 3 WEEKS
Pre-Tryout Clinics offer all-skill training opportunities in a tryout like environment. The clinics are offered to all levels of players who will be trying out for the upcoming club season. Coaches will instruct in a tryout like situation to prepare players for what they will go through on tryout day. Some players get overwhelmed on tryout day and this is a great opportunity to get familiar with the process while getting extra touches on the ball in an instructional environment.
2nd-11th Grade, all skill levels are welcome.
Participants will be separated by age/skill
These are the last camps offered before club tryouts in July.

TRYOUTS
How does tryouts & team selection work?
Often we are asked how the tryout and team selection process works. Below is a synopsis that we cover with each of our coaches prior to tryouts and the beginning of that process.
We hold open tryouts, anyone is welcome. We individually evaluate the players through a process we have been using for many years. Each player is given an individual number and this is given to the coaches.
At the beginning of the tryouts parents are taken out for a parent meeting. At the parent meeting they are given all of the information they would need to make a decision on the upcoming season of basketball.
Players are put through a rigorous basketball tryout. We test finishing, shooting, ball handling, footwork, passing, defense, and team skills. Coaches observe while an individual runs the tryout, allowing coaches maximum evaluation time.
After makeup tryouts, coaches form coaches meetings to go through all of the players that tried out and make decisions. Typically 2 teams are formed and players are called and offered spots. There are also special situations where players are asked to practice only with the teams.
Regardless on if your player makes a team or not, you will recieve a phone call notifying you of the decision. You are welcome to speak with the coach about why the decision was made, and potential areas to work on to better your player.
If your player does not make a team, we encourage them not to give up on basketball. We want them to go work hard and come back again the following year. Anyway we can assist in that process, we are happy to help.
Final critical item. At Authority Athletics, each year we reset our rosters. We do not hold roster spots for players, and we do not hold team spots for players. Each year we feel it is important to level the playing field 100%.
