All players interested in participating in our travel program must attend tryouts. The tryouts are scheduled for Sunday, 10/15, and Sunday, 10/22, between 2pm and 8pm. Players are expected to attend both tryouts. 2. Each session will be 75 minutes with 15 minutes in between sessions. 3. Players should wear a uniform with a number (any sport uniform is fine) and please wear the same uniform both weeks to provide consistency for our evaluators. 4. There will be a minimum of 3 evaluators at each tryout session. Each evaluator will submit an individual evaluation to the NYB President and Travel Coordinator for their respective group without collaboration with the other evaluators. 5. No evaluator will evaluate their own son/daughter's age group. 6. All evaluators have minimum qualifications of high school varsity playing experience and head coaching experience at the youth or high school level. 7. There will be a brief meeting with parents prior to the tryout session in the lobby or cafeteria, but parents will not be allowed in the gym during the tryout. 8. All players will be evaluated using the same criteria to ensure consistency and fairness. Team Selection Process: 1. No coaching assignments will be made until after teams are selected. 2. The NYB Board and Tryout Evaluators will hold a team selection meeting the week of 10/23. 3. Tryout Evaluations will be the primary determining factor on team placement. 4. Coaches complete an end of the season evaluation so we also have this data available from the previous year. However, this information will only be used in situations involving sick or injured players, tiebreaker scenarios where players' tryout evaluation scores are the same and other possible extenuating circumstances.5. If we do not have any volunteers for a particular team after teams are finalized, we will reach out requesting volunteers. If we do not have anyone willing to coach then we would not be able to field that particular team. 6. Families will be notified by NYB via email whether or not they made a team and what team they are on. Coaches will then follow-up with additional information.
