FAQs
1) Q. How are the teams selected?
A. The girls that are selected for the program are those that the coaches (if determined) and the Board of Directors feel will allow the program to field the most competitive teams. This does not mean that the teams are always composed of the players with the best basketball skills; as you cannot be competitive with all guards and no height.
​
New tryouts are conducted every year and a player selected the previous season is not guaranteed a roster spot in subsequent seasons.
​
2) Q. Do the coaches (if determined) have a say in who makes the teams?
A. Yes. The coaches have a significant role in determining who makes the team(s). The Board will only intercede if there is a drastic difference between the Board and the coach’s evaluation of a player’s ability.
​
It is a difficult task to determine who should make the program. We collectively do the best we can and try to be as fair as possible. It is impossible to be right all of the time, but we feel our process gives us the best chance of being correct.
​
3) Q. How are the Red (A) and White (B) Teams determined?
A. The Red (A) team’s coach submits a list of his desired team and their positions to the Board for approval. The White (B) team’s coach does the same after the composition of the Red team is determined.
​
4) Q. Why is there an A (Red) & B (White) team and not two equal teams?
A. In order to achieve our objective of competing with the best traveling teams in the area, the Board felt going to an A and B team program affords the best chance of achieving this goal.
​
It should be noted that in most years, both teams are very competitive in the traveling circuit and very often our White team is better than several competing program’s A team.
