Try out date/time Second Weekend (Sept 14 or 15, 2024 as below)
There is a $20.00 non-refundable try out fee per team. You may try out for as many teams as you wish and pay $20 per team. For example, if you wish to try out for U15B – Jones and U15B – Lee you will be charged a non-refundable fee of $40 ($20 per team). Also, each coach is selecting their own team/players, so your child will need to show up for ALL team tryouts they are interested in.
It is best to attend BOTH tryout dates. The more the coach sees your athlete perform on the court, the better his or her chances for team selection! However, it is still okay to attend only the 2nd weekend, September 14/15, 2024.
Your child can always tryout for an older age group. For example, a grade 7 female can tryout for Major Bantam U14G team if we do not have a girls’ team for their age group, or the player wants to tryout for an older team. Your child can always tryout for their age group, or an older age group; however, never for a younger age group.
All tryouts are 2 hours in length at Alexander Mackenzie HS in Richmond Hill (300 Major Mackenzie Drive West).
Please wear proper athletic attire and shoes. You must also bring your own basketball and water bottle (both labelled with your child’s name).
As additional coaches become available and tryout times are known, the tryout schedule will be updated above. Please check this webpage often for updates, even the day before or day of the expected tryout. Tryout dates/times could possibly change. Thank you.
For more information please contact the rep team coach directly in the table above. Thank you.
