Grades 5 thru 8 Boys and Girls Travel Team tryouts will be held FIRST beginning in early October. Please note that there are TWO tryout nights for EACH Travel Team and Players must attend BOTH nights.

Intramural Team Player Evaluations:

After Travel Team tryouts are held and Travel Team players are selected, preliminary Cadet and Junior Intramural Division teams will be formed by Division Directors, and Coaches for each team will be selected.

In mid-November, these preliminary teams will scrimmage against one another.

FINAL Intramural Division Team Rosters will be determined AFTER team scrimmages are held.

NOTE: BOYS High School Division Player Evaluations are usually held in early December - please see this year's Evaluation Schedule for details.

======================
Additional Details - Changes in the Skills Evaluation Process:

The mandatory skills evaluation process that all Cadet (grades 5, 6) and Junior (grades 7, 8) Players must participate in has been changed for the following reasons:

• CYBL now has all coaches do an evaluation of their players at the end of the previous season and these evaluations are used as the starting point for putting teams together for the following season.
  
  
• MANDATORY SCRIMMAGES have been added to the evaluation process. Cadet and Junior players, boys and girls, will be contacted before these scrimmages and told when to show up and who to report to.
  
  As stated above, the teams they are assigned to for these scrimmages may or may not be the final teams that they will play for. Division Directors and coaches will assess the strengths and weaknesses of the initial teams as formed and every attempt will be made to re-assign players based on the goal of having a balanced program.
  
  Please try not to make special requests for assignment of your son or daughter, as honoring those requests will make the creation of balanced teams by Division Directors a more difficult process.
