It’s not an easy go admission organization. There are several try outs in order to clear and make it to the team. The try outs normally take place in mid or mid late February. The season normally continues for six months which usually ends in the month of august. The season continues till late august and ends with a celebrated award ceremony. Teams are formed on the basis of age groups, students apply for their specific age groups and thus after the selection process the teams are formed. There are no co ed teams, i.e, it’s either an all boys group or is an all girls group. There is a specific team roster according to which the teams have to abide by. The team roster consists of up to 15 players: five starters, seven backups, and three reserve players,. For the game of five on five there happens to be a twelve player travel roster, and in the case of three on three there is a four player travel roster, which only happens with the second four player travel roster happening specifically at the coach’s discretion. The reserve players have their set of responsibilities as well. The reserve players may be of developmental talent or they can be talented players who are moving up the travel roster or competing roster by challenging a starting player or backup. Every athlete is expected to put their all in the sessions. They are put through vigorous training sessions and are made to practice their way to perfection. The fee structure is never the same and continuous and may vary from season to season. The fees are considered to be non refundable and there will be no exceptions to this. Students need to drop donation for trying in the try outs and have to contact the head coach whose name is Coach Sean Ramey.
