Hoop Hunter Basketball Girls and Boys Fall Club Team Tryout Information

Q. What to expect during tryouts?
A. There will be 2 official workouts for each age group. Cost is $15 to tryout. It is a onetime fee. The coach of the team will conduct the tryout.

Q. What type of players are we looking for?
A. We are looking for committed players and families. We want players who work hard and have a healthy, contagious attitude. We want competitive team players and not individual players. No recreational players!

Q. How many players will be on a team?
A. We need 10 players to make up a complete team. We believe that with a full roster, we can hold complete practices. Each coach has the option of carrying additional players. If coaches take extra players, they will work on development and hopefully eventually be able to play with the team in some of the tournaments if we are missing players. This arrangement will be made up front at the beginning with the player and family involved.

Q. How will we determine who plays and who starts?
A. We believe in the honor system. Our coaches are asked to reward players for their hard work and development in practice. By all means our goal is to have everyone play. Although playing time is earned through consistent attendance, hard work, and consistency in game and practice performance.

Q. Where will our games be played?
A. Most of our games will be played in the Dallas-Fort Worth area (hopefully within a 30 mile radius).

Q. What will be the name of the teams?
A. Hoop Hunter Hustlers. A reversible jersey is provided and must be returned at the end of the season. Players may or may not receive their normal jersey number. Team shorts, t-shirt, and shooting shirt are available for an extra fee.

Q. Will teams that have less than 10 players have to split the shortage of fees?
A. Yes.

Q. How often will we practice?
A. We will practice twice a week for 1 1/2 hours each time.

Q. How often will we play?
A. We plan on playing in two tournaments each month September through November. We will have a tournament the first weekend in September and tournament games every other weekend in the DFW area.

Q: Where will we practice?
A. Hoop Hunter Gym. Practices will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays with teams rotating Friday practices.

Q. What happens if the team that I tryout for doesn’t make?
A. We will either hold an additional tryout or decide not to have that particular team. We would like to have more than one team per age group. Participants will be told at the last tryout if they made the team and be expected to join that day. We will take sizes for uniforms and sign contracts to join the team as well.

Q. Will players who make the teams receive discounts on other HHB/BBI services?
A. Yes. 10% off of any group, clinic and camp program.

Q. When would we have our first practice?
A. Immediately after commitments from 8 to 10 players.

Q. Will there be a payment option?
A. Yes. Full payment and half payments. Special payment plans must agreed to in writing by our office.

Q. What is the cost?
A. $800.00

Extra clinics, weekday conditioning and summer camps are encouraged during the off-season:
All 2010 club team players are encouraged to workout extra by attending our ongoing weekend clinics, private lessons, and camps. This summer we will be offering a high impact point guard camp, hosted by Deon Hunter and friends. All player’s will be given a schedule of events that we are hosting at HHB that we feel will be of benefit to players wanting to further improve their overall game. Becoming a complete player is the name of the game.
