If you are going to try out please try and register soon so that we can figure out the logistics of the try outs and Coach Evans can pull together the resources needed to evaluate the kids. Thanks, Brian From: Aaron Zimmerman Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2014 10:28 AM To: Brian Rogers Subject: Fourth Grade Travel Basketball Tryouts Dear Parents: Fall Sports are in full swing but we need to also focus on the next sports season which is basketball. We are excited to announce that there will be new opportunities for players looking to play more advanced basketball in addition to playing in our normal YMCA recreation league. The details are as follows: • We are currently planning two teams of approximately 10 players. This may change subject to participation. • Teams will be entered in the winter league of the Brewster Sports Center (www.brewstersportscenter.com ) about 30 minutes from New Canaan. They offer a competitive league in a well-run sports facility. • The season will begin in mid-to- late November and last until late March. We will do our best to avoid conflicts with the vacation and holiday schedule of New Canaan Public Schools. • Games and most practices will be played at various times on Saturdays and Sundays and we will schedule away from conflicts with the YMCA 4th grade league. We will look to play two games in consecutive time slots when available to minimize travel time. EFTA_R1_00695561 EFTA02094666  • Participation in the YMCA league will be a requirement to play this additional basketball. • The season will consist of 12 regular season games (plus playoffs) at Brewster plus additional games in and around New Canaan with local Fairfield and Westchester teams. Total sessions are expected to be about 16-20 games plus practices (10+). • Teams will be coached by experienced, high level coaches with a focus on fundamentals and player development. • Approximate cost will be $400 and will include: uniforms, coaches, practice facilities, league fees, referees, insurance and all necessary equipment and supplies. Tryouts will be on Saturday October 18 from 12 to 3 pm at the New Canaan YMCA. They will be conducted by an experienced, independent third party to ensure fairness. You must register for Y-Ball in advance in order to participate in the tryouts. Registration link is below.
