About this practice
A tryout that is really an evaluation day: at this age the goal is balanced teams, not cuts. Stations at every hoop, one evaluator each, then 1-on-1 and 3-on-3 with friends split up. Watch effort, listening, and trying with both hands. Write notes after the kids leave, not during.
