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 22, 2009. 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, 2009.

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 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 &
*7)
Boys Junior Prep (Grades
4, 5)
| * 7th grade girls playing for
their middle school team are not eligible for the Prep League
but can play in the Recreational League |
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.
Prep League Practice and Game Days
The Girls Prep and Boys Junior Prep Divisions normally practice
on Sunday afternoons and play games on Wednesdays nights. Some
weeks they may play more than one game a week or play games on
Sunday rather than practicing. The Boys Senior Prep Division
normally practice on Sunday afternoons and play games on Monday
and Thursday nights. Some weeks teams may play games on Sunday
rather than practicing.

Practices for the Prep Leagues will begin the week of November
22, 2009. The first games will be played the week of November
30, 2009. All Divisions will end by mid-February, 2009.
