Our "no-cut" tryouts for our local kids rec league begin tonight with the 3rd thru 6th grade girls. These are just skills drills so coaches can take notes for next week's team drafts. The kids display their skills in dribbling, shooting (jumpers, FTs and layups) and passing. We also run some 3 on 3 drills so they can show off their defensive skills.
The older kids have their tryouts later in the week and the beginning of next week. It looks like we'll have just under 1000 kids in the program this year in grades 3-12. The most we had was when we were combined with a neighboring town when we had over 1700 and that was before we added HS level so it was just grades 3-8!
Oh yeah, I always remind the little kids not to hang on the rim when they dunk during layups. They get a kick out of that.
