Highlander’s,
The time is almost here for Hazen Select’s winter basketball tryout’s. Our tryout’s for both boy’s and girl’s will be on Saturday, September 24th starting at 8am in Hazen’s main gym. Below you will see the times for every age group. At each grade level we will have tryout’s for both boy’s and girl’s at the same time. I want to remind everyone that these tryout’s are for player’s who will be attending Hazen in high school or live in the Renton School district. We are not accepting out of district player’s. Because there will be player’s getting cut we expect the one’s who make our team’s to play for Hazen Select. Please do NOT tryout if there is a chance you can’t/won’t play for Hazen Select as it’s not fair to those who don’t make a team.
Each player will be given a tryout number on the day of the tryout’s. After the teams are chosen the numbers of each player who made the team will be posted on the Hazen Select website. We will not be putting names on the website. The teams will be selected by the coaches at each grade level along with the board of director’s of Hazen Select. We are trying to get the best 10 player’s at each grade level for both boy’s and girls. There is no guarantee that last year’s player’s will make this year’s team so please keep that in mind. Because gym time is very tough to get we do not anticipate having more than 1 team at each grade level.
We will try to have the teams posted on the Hazen Select website by Monday, September 26th, no later than 9pm. We will also be having our parent night September 28th, from 7-9pm at Hazen’s cafeteria. This is the time to start getting the paperwork in, fee’s collected and kids measured for their new uniforms. We will have a representative there that night from Coud9 sports to help everyone with getting the right sizes for the player’s. This is a mandatory meeting for all player’s who made a Select team, parents, and coaches. Our practices will start the following week.
Were expecting a huge turnout for this years tryouts so please get there early to register and warmup. Also, bring water and a snack if needed. We are still in need of a boy’s 4th grade coach. If we can’t find a coach there won’t be a team so please ask around as we’ve had no luck so far.
