GIRLS BASKETBALL TRYOUTS & SEASON 24/25 INFO 

PLEASE NOTE:  Any athlete interested in participating on a Hurricanes team MUST be present at tryouts unless there is an unavoidable conflict. If this is not possible for you, please e-mail Randy Lindsey (randy@greenvillehurricanes.com)

GIRLS BASKETBALL TRYOUT INFORMATION

NEW EARLY TRYOUT DATE:
This year, we are doing tryouts differently. We will do two (2) rounds of tryouts.

• Round 1 will be early (April). This will be for players interested in playing next year so we can get an early start on our practices. We are planning some scrimmages from June-July for all teams.  If you don’t make the team in Round 1, this will give you an opportunity to work on things during the off season and try out again in Round 2.
• If spots are still available, Round 2 will be late September or early October. This will be for anyone that did not make the team in Round 1 and would like to try out again, as well as anyone who was not able to do the early tryout or did not know about the tryout.

The reasons for the new format:
1) We plan to start our preseason workouts on or around Jun 15th. We also will have scrimmages planned for all teams.
2) Many families like to get visibility to the schedule early. By setting the teams, we can input the game and tournament schedules as we get them, giving everyone early access to key dates.
3) We will do summer pre-season workouts and want to encourage team development during the summer.
4) This will also allow families to plan financially and even do fundraising activities early and apply to fees.
5) Early tryouts allows us to plan any new uniform sizing and purchases.

Tryout Location:  Hampton Heights Baptist Church Gym (2511 Wade Hampton Blvd, Greenville, SC 29615)

Registration Fees:

GIRLS BASKETBALL
Parents: Our goal is to develop a program that provides a fun, competitive environment while giving the players the opportunity for development.

Girls basketball registration fee covers the following costs

1. Administrative expenses to support the team (insurance, personnel, etc)
2. Operations - facilities expenses, officials, equipment
3. Participation in the 2024/25 season
4. Uniforms will be loaned - no extra cost to the player (Value MSG=$180 and JV=$180 & VG=$180). Uniforms are the property of the Greenville Hurricanes and will be returned at the end of the season. If a player loses or damages a uniform, the player will be charged the full cost of replacing the damaged or lost jersey.

• If you want to use this payment plan option, choose to "pay by card" on the checkout page. You will then turn on installments with the red toggle button.

Volunteer Requirements:
The entire girls basketball operation is done with volunteers. We will need volunteers to help with admission, concessions, scoreboard operations, scorebook, stat tracking, 2nd adult at a few practices, and occasional event support. We will have a minimum amount of spots to fill per athlete.

Fundraising:
This is a critical aspect of our program. We will have individual and group initiatives that each player can use to raise funds to reduce the cost of the fundraising requirement ($150). We  plan to have the Shoot-a-thon again in October as a fun and engaging way to raise funds.
NOTE:  $150 of the amount a player brings in in fundraising will cover the required $150 fundraising amount. Monies brought in above the $150 requirement will go to the Girls Basketball Program.

Donations:
The Greenville Hurricanes is a 501(c)(3) and is a great way to support girls basketball in our community. If you, a friend or family member is interested in making a donation and receiving a tax deduction it is a great way to offset our program expenses and continue to enhance future basketball equipment and gym needs. Donations are still made to the Greenville Hurricanes, just let us know it is designated for Girls Basketball.

This year we will have 1-2 workouts during the week, and then either on Thursday or Saturday we will run pickup games. We will also invite local travel clubs to scrimmage. While their participation is not guaranteed, we will extend the invitation.

We plan on having two workout groups. The coaches may adjust the players in the workout group based on skill. Please only register if you are available for both workout times. If you are unsure, please contact Coach Lindsey. (randy@greenvillehurricanes.com)

The age group is based on the players' age as of Sept 1, 2023. Some younger players may play up depending upon skill level assessed by the coach. We ask that players have experience and love of the game. This is not a starter camp/league. Players should know the rules of the game, and have a grasp of the fundamentals (ball handling / shooting / defense) If you are unsure if this is a fit for your athlete, please contact Coach Lindsey. (randy@greenvillehurricanes.com)
