ECHS BBall Family,
We are one week away from tryouts! Here are the basics regarding trying out for the Boys Basketball Program.
Athletic Handbooks - ALL players must have their athletic handbooks filled out and sports physicals completed. The physicals are valid for one calendar year, so if you have a question as to whether or not yours is still valid, please ask Coach Brose.
Tryout Dates and Times - Tryouts will take place on Monday and Tuesday, November 11 and 12, from 3:30 to 6:00pm in the White Tiger gym. Please bring athletic attire and plenty of water, as we will be moving for the entirety of the time allotted. I am aware that Monday is a school holiday, but I'd like to start tryouts on that date regardless. IF YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO ATTEND ON MONDAY, please let me know ASAP, and keep in mind that while this should in no way prevent you from making the team, it will likely make your path a bit tougher to travel, as you will be one full day behind the rest of your teammates, and have one less day to prove yourself!
Team information - We plan on carrying three teams this season. Our varsity team is our highest level of skill and competition, and plays a full schedule of 28 games with the potential for CIF playoffs at the conclusion of the regular season. Our JV team will be comprised of players with some basketball experience who require more seasoning in order to make themselves varsity ready, and will play a 24 game schedule. Finally, we will carry a Developmental, Frosh/Soph team which will play a 14-16 game schedule. All three teams will run the same offensive and defensive sets, so there is the possibility for intrasquad advancement throughout the season (think of it like the minor leagues for baseball).
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like further information. Let's get ready for some basketball!
Coach V
