Basketball Tryouts – Week of Dec. 9, 2024
We’re all excited for another great year of basketball at Eckstein!
Girls Coaches: Errol Knight, Dori Bennett, Max Rose
Boys Coach: Jean-Masse Buchanan,
We are still in need of basketball coaches for both programs. Please reach out to the Athletic Coordinator, Derek Grandbois if you are interested: djgrandbois@seattleschools.org
Tryout times are listed below.
Practices will start the following week.
Games will be played on Saturday.
Tryouts:
- There will be three teams per program this year: Varsity, JV and JVC for boys and girls.
- There will be cuts to create teams. Unfortunately, there is not a guaranteed spot on the team if your athlete played last year.
- The girls’ and boys’ teams will have a mix of all grade levels. Exception, there will be no 8th graders placed on JVC.
- All paperwork and physicals must be completed and uploaded to FinalForms by December 6th at four o’clock to participate at tryouts on December 10th.
- If you need support for a physical contact Erica Davenport our Social Worker: esdavenport@seattleschools.org
- There will be no late tryouts.
- Head coaches have final decision of who makes the Eckstein team.
- Players will be informed of which team or if they were cut through email.
Expectations:
- It is expected that student-athletes will maintain 2.0 GPA with no more than 1 failing grade, coaches may have higher expectations for eligibility and play. Additionally, student-athletes need to be on-time and fully participate in all classes. Failure to adhere to classroom standards can lead to game or team suspension.
- It is expected that student-athletes will make Eckstein Basketball a priority over all other outside extra-curricular activities. If you have a conflict
