Tryout Information:

The deadline to register by October 14th is a firm deadline in order to recruit the appropriate number of coaches, reserve gym space and meet the deadline to pay for and submit the correct number of Mary of Nazareth teams for each league. Everyone who registers by the October 14 deadline and attends the appropriate tryout will be placed on a team. There are no "cuts".

Team Formation:

Rookie Division U10 (3^rd/4^th grade)

Player assessments are for the sole purpose of constructing a fair and balanced team divided by grade and skill. Practices for the Rookie level begin in early December with games beginning in early January. Games take place on Friday nights, Saturdays, and possibly Sundays. Game schedules are not typically known until late December.

Junior Varsity U12 (5^th/6^th grade) and Varsity U14 (7^th/8^th grade)  

All play at this level is competitive. 

Please consider with your child that you are committed to the team practices and games. Due to smaller team sizes in basketball, when 1-2 students are not available to practice or play a game, it puts the whole team in jeopardy of forfeiting a game and disappointing those players that are committed. Basketball also requires practice to learn team plays. If a player consistently cannot make the 1-2 practices a week, they should consider placement on a different team. Please inform the commissioner or Athletic Director as soon as you are aware of any conflicts as this may effect team selection. 

The purpose of the tryout at the JV and Varsity levels is to place children at their proper levels of ability. Each division will include an ‘A’ (most competitive) team based on skills assessment, position availability, and coach availability. If a student does not want to be considered for the ‘A’ team, please let the Basketball Commissioner know prior to assessments. Depending on the league of play (non-tournament, tournament or Mid-Atlantic), outside of the ‘A’ team, players will be divided evenly by skill, position, and grade. 

Junior Varsity

Practices for JV division players begins in mid-November with games beginning in early January. Games take place on Saturday or possibly Sundays. Game schedules are not available until mid-December.  If you have conflicting activities, please strongly consider whether or not you should try out for the ‘A’ team.

Varsity

Practices for Varsity division players begins in early November. Games begin in early December. Games typically take place on Saturdays and possibly Sundays.

Information for the 2017-2018 cheerleading season will be announced shortly.
