Tryouts

​

This year, we will be expanding our tryout phase (6 sessions before State Championships, re-evaluate early 2025), to give coaches more time to put players through their paces, and to give coaches more time to see players in as many different situations as possible.

 

Trial squads will be reduced and cut during the tryout process, and this will happen at the end of each session. Players will be informed of the cuts at the end of the session, and parents informed within 48 hours of the session ending by the High Performance Manager.

 

Teams will be selected by the Head Coaches in the age group, in conjunction with the High Performance Manager.

State Championships Court Time

​

Due to the nature of the State Championships, and how short the games are, not every player selected is guaranteed to play in every single game.

 

Flames players are entitled to play in at least 3 State Championship games, assuming the player meets the teams expectations with regards to behaviour, attitude, and attendance. The Head Coach will determine the total amount of court time given.

​

Early 2025 - Into WABL Grading and WABL 2025

​

The 2024 State Championship teams will come back together inside their own age groups early in 2025, where coaches can tweak their squads, before naming their 2025 WABL Teams.

 

This is not a new tryout phase. This process is allowing coaches to move players up or down based on team personnel, State Championship form etc.

 

Teams will be selected by the Head Coaches in the age group, in conjunction with the High Performance Manager.

 

Cost

​

The cost of the tryout is $40. This is not refundable.
