Who is "Good Enough" to Play Competitive?

Our experience is that some players shy away because they feel that they are not good enough to make a competitive team. More often than not, they are being overly critical of their chances. We would offer the following comments:

• Remember that we are trying to form more than one team at each age category, so there are lots of spots.
• Coaches look for many things, including attitude and athleticism, in addition to basic basketball skills. Skills can be learned.
• If you play for a school team or are amongst the best on your house league team, you certainly have a good chance to make a competitive team.

So, give it a try!
