- o Players must play in at least one of the two WBI Saturday Junior Domestic Competition seasons in 2016 or domestic basketball at another BVC affiliated association.
- o Players that are Currently Registered with another Representative Basketball Association who wish to try-out for the Wallan Panthers must supply a completed permission to train form before starting tryouts
- o SELECTION CRITERIA
- o We are simplifying our selection process to rate each player against our T.E.A.M. criteria (see below)
- o At try outs each player will be given a score out of 5 in the four criteria areas
- o A player must score a minimum of 3 in the 4 TEAM criteria and have an average at or above 3.25 to qualifying for consideration for a rep team (not a guaranteed spot).
- o A players domestic or previous season rep performance can be included in the evaluation
- o The number of players available for team consideration is then the number of players with a qualifying score. If there are enough players qualified for two teams then we revert to our normal team structure policy for two teams
- o A spot may be offered to a player who fails to meet the qualifying score but who fills a team need and has high potential to improve with training
- o If there is a big group at tryouts in an age level but not enough achieve a qualify score then we may consider inviting a second group to training with the rep team and have a pre-determined tournaments schedule for them to compete in
T.E.A.M criteria
Tenacious- we compete hard and never give up
Executers- we show true skill and play our role.
Assisters- we pass well and are stingy defenders.
Mindful- we are coachable, composed and fair.
