2021-2022 FALL/WINTER SEASON - COMMON QUESTIONS

Details:  2nd-8th Grade BOYS teams will be offered for the 2021-2022 Fall/Winter season.  Practices will be 2 nights per week with tournament participation on the weekends.  Tournament travel distance could vary by team, driven by talent level.  Most tournaments offered are in the Cedar Valley, Cedar Rapids, Ames, or Des Moines areas.  More competitive tournaments may fall outside of the state.  Players should plan to play in at least 10 tournaments over the course of the season.  The season will run from approximately October through February.

Q.)  Does my son have to attend both nights of try-outs?
A.)  No; two dates are offered for convenience, but players only need to attend one night for try-outs.

Q.)  Is my son guaranteed a spot?
A.)  No; due to high interest and limited gym space, players will be selected based on talent and will be placed on the best team to match that talent level.  2-3 teams will be offered at each grade level to place players in the environment that will challenge them in the right way.

Q.)  Where are practices?
A.)  Practices will be held at Fit Courts in Cedar Falls, 2 nights per week.

Q.)  What if I cannot make the try-out date?
A.)  An alternate try-out date is not guaranteed, but we are exploring options (likely the week of August 23rd).

Q.)  How much does it cost per player for the Fall/Winter season?
A.)  Overall cost covers gym time, tournament fees, and jerseys.  Cost could range from $600 to $1000 based on competition level.  Some teams choose to organize fundraiser events to offset these costs, but that would be done at a team level (coach/parent driven).  Corporate sponsors may also positively impact this range.

Q.)  Do you offer girls teams?
A.)  We do have 3 existing girls teams, but unfortunately cannot expand to offer more girls teams at this time due to limited gym availability.  We hope to be able to expand in the future.
