5/6th Intro to Competitive 

***UPDATED*** Tryout December 11th and 13th, 5:45 pm at SSMS. This is a change from our original plan of try outs on Dec 4th and 6th. They are now going to be a week later to not overlap with our Fall Madness Program. Thank you!

Teams will be made of 10 competitive players at most. 

Teams will compete in iHoop Nation league, January - February. This league is every other Saturday from January 13th to February 24/25th. We will get 10 games at least with a tournament the final weekend. Please note that the last tournament is the second weekend of Blues Break and we expect to play. Make sure to plan accordingly. Also, I want to get this group one final tournament in early March to finish their season.

Teams will practice two times a week depending on gym availability

The tryout is free and we want anyone with the courage and drive to come out for the teams to do so!

See full information below or on competitive program page.

2023-24 Teams created and rosters out on December 15th, 2023. Depending on numbers at tryouts there could be two teams; otherwise, we will combine our 5/6th graders into one team if that works better. Once your player is on the roster, then you will register for the program on December 9th and before December 12th. We will have our first practices the week before Christmas break begins.

Season runs January through February. Team Structure/Try-outs

Try-outs will be regionalized to the Yampa Valley (Steamboat Springs, North Routt, South Routt, Hayden, Craig). Try-outs will be held and the best 10 players will be selected to participate. Participants will be placed on team(s) based on their talent level. Decision on participant placement and cuts will be made by the HAB coaching staff.
