Dear Students, Cadet Boys basketball (Grade 9) tryouts will begin this Wednesday September 10th at 1:30pm – 3:45pm at the D’Arcy gym. Please bring your indoor shoes, shorts and water bottle, be ready to compete. Tryouts will also take place on the following dates: Friday Sept 12th 6:15pm to 7:45pm Monday Sept. 15th 6:15pm to 7:45pm Wednesday Sept. 17th 1:30pm to 3:30pm Friday Sept. 19th 6:15pm to 7:45pm We encourage all athletes to attend all tryout practices. We will keep up to 12 players for the 2025-2026 season. During tryouts, players will be evaluated on the following:
1. The player’s fundamental skills
2. How the player functions as a teammate and leader
3. The player’s attitude and effort
4. Attendance at tryouts
Students who do not make the team are encouraged to continue working on their skills and to tryout again next year. Almost every year, we have students who make the team in grade 10 who did not make the team in grade 9 because they continued to play and work on their skills. There are many ways to improve, such as playing in other organized leagues or by attending one of the many camps that are offered in our area.
