Upward Evaluations begin Saturday, January 11! Here is some info about evaluations that may help you after getting registered ...
Welcome to the new year and our new Upward Basketball season! Thank you for getting signed up to play with us this year. I think we are going to have another great league!
Now that you are registered, the next step is to join us for one of our evaluation Saturdays in January. If you’ve never participated before, let me explain some details about our evaluations …
🏀 Drop-In Evaluations (Please plan about 45 minutes to complete an evaluation.)
+ Saturday, January 11 between 9:00am and 1:00pm
+ Saturday, January 18 between 9:00am and 1:00pm
+ Saturday, January 25 between 9:00am and 1:00pm
You do not need to be there the entire time. Just drop in when you are able. We have an opportunity for players to check sizing by trying on a uniform, measuring their height, and participating in several skill drills. We use the scores from these drills to help create balanced teams to start the season. Parents are welcome and encouraged to be with us in the gym during the evaluations.
It is not uncommon for players to be nervous about this. We just always encourage them to come in and do their best!
If you cannot attend one of the scheduled evaluation times, please email [email protected] to request an alternate time.
Here are some additional details about the season that may help in your planning.
