15-18U TRYOUT DETAILS
We are thrilled to announce the Tryout Details for our 15-18U boys 2023 Summer Season!! Once you have looked over the information provided here, please be sure to review the sections below to learn more about both of the program options we have available this season. We’re looking forward to seeing many of you soon, and please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
When: Our tryouts will be held on Sunday, May 21st from 9:00-11:00am
Where: Our tryouts will be held at Fairview South in Skokie. This will be a primary practice location for the Summer Season as well.
What to Expect:
Our tryout process will evaluate performance on a range of skills specific to the athlete’s primary position, along with more general skills and concepts appropriate to their age group. Time will be split between skill work and scrimmage-based drills, and our full program staff will be on rotation between all courts to keep our training environment fast-paced and high energy. We understand the pressure associated with a tryout, and do our best to help all athletes treat this process as if it were any other night of practice – nobody wants you to succeed on the court more than us!
Additional details will be sent out to all registrants ahead of our tryout date, including information on the tryout results process and when you can expect to hear back.
