Winter Tryout Info

WINTER GIRLS BASKETBALL TRYOUTS

Thank you for your interest in participating in our teams program here at Emerald City Basketball Academy. We currently have 4 gyms located in Seattle, Edmonds, Preston, and Auburn. You do not need to preregister and tryouts are free. At the tryouts you will be required to fill out a waiver, provide player information, and then you will choose your preferred location and gym to play out of. It is only mandatory to make 1 of the tryouts, but making both is encouraged. It is also ok to attend Seattle and Eastside tryouts if you are undecided as to where you want to play. After tryouts we will call you within the week to let you know where you have been placed and to give you more details about the team, coach, practices, games, and training program. It is ok to play for one gym but train out of another.

Our teams practice once a week leaving it open for you to schedule training when it's convenient for you. Games are played on the weekends. Season schedules are handed out at the beginning of the season. Many players also participate in other sports, which is fine with us as long as you can make more than half of the team's practices and games. Training is offered 5 days a week so it is easy to find days and times that don't conflict with their other team. MMM

Training is one of the most important aspects of their development, and is what separates ECBA from everyone else. To play on a team you must train at the academy. In our training program we offer PG, Wing, Post, Shooting, and Combo classes. You can register for multiple classes throughout the week which you are scheduled to attend for the entire month. Each month you can change your class schedule or keep it the same. We will rotate the classes each month to allow players to keep their schedule and be able to take a diversity of classes.

Our team members receive team practice, position training, and lots of competitive games. With quality coaching, this structure allows the players to improve their individual skills, team concepts, and basketball IQ. By joining the team you are committing to play and train in the academy for the duration of the season. The Winter season is 4 months long starting Dec. 1st and ending Mar. 30th. Training is $200/month and team fees are $100/month. All teams fees are paid upfront in order to secure the budget for the team during the duration of the season.

We have players that travel here from Oak Harbor, Tacoma, Redmond, Marysville, Issaquah, Renton, and other surrounding areas, so carpooling can really help. Bring a friend or fellow baller to tryouts and they can play on the same team if needed to assist with carpooling. Players and parents tend to enjoy their team more when 1 or 2 of their friends are playing also. We offer discounts for referring players who register for our teams. $100 off for each referral who joins the academy. Click Here for referral program info.

Again, thank you for your interest in Emerald City Basketball Academy, and if you have any questions feel free to contact us.
