Recreational League Practice
and Game Information
The Recreational teams (1st-8th Grade) practice once
a week on a weekday evening. The practice day and time is selected
by the Volunteer Coach and will be on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday or Thursday. These teams play one game a week on Saturday
morning or early afternoon. If scheduling or gym conflicts occur,
the Boys 7th-8th Grade Division will play their games on Sunday
afternoon rather than on Saturday. The Boys 9th-12th Grade Division
will have an open gym for practice on Saturday mornings and play
the majority of their games on Sunday afternoons. The Boys 9th-12th
Grade Division may play a few games during the week.
Recreational League Tryout/Workouts
There is NO tryout for the Recreational League. In an
attempt to make the teams more equitable, the
Coordinators for the 5th-8th Grade Divisions MAY ask the players
to workout on the afternoon of Sunday, November 20, 2011. If
workouts are held, a notice listing the place and time
of the workout will be posted on the website no later than November
16, 2011.

PREP LEAGUE
The Prep League consists of three instructional/competitive
divisions. The objective of the Prep League is to prepare boys
and girls entering middle school for the challenge of UIL competition.
Players must tryout (or request and receive a waiver) for the
Prep League. If they are not selected by the Prep League Coaches,
the player will automatically be placed in the Recreational League.
The Prep League divisions are as follows:
Boys Senior Prep
(Grades 5, 6) Girls Prep (Grades
4, 5 & 6)
Boys Junior Prep (Grades
4, 5)
Prep League Tryout
All players wishing to play in the Prep League must tryout.
If it is impossible for you to tryout, you need to
email us explaining the reason and asking for a waiver from the
tryout. The tryout consists of two parts and will be conducted
over two separate weekend days. The first part involves participating
in several running and shooting drills. The second part is a
short scrimmage similar to an actual game.
