McLean Select Basketball
Tryouts Process
This section of the McLean Select Basketball website provides general information about the McLean Select Basketball tryout process.
Overview of Tryouts Process
McLean Select Youth Basketball (“MSB” or “McLean Select”)organizes and provides gym space for 16 teams which represent two boys’ and girls’ teams for each grade (5th through 8th grade).
McLean Select try-outs begin on or about October 1st (the first date allowable by the Fairfax County Youth Basketball League (“FCYBL), and McLean Select expects each age group to complete their try-out process by October 15th. Based on prior experience with all age groups, our try-outs are highly competitive with 2-3 players typically trying out for each of the 10 positions on a team.
As described further below, all players attempting to make a select team should attempt to attend a minimum of 3 tryouts prior to the final selection of teams – please see attendance guidelines below. The selection of players for all Select Teams is at the sole discretion of the team’s Head Coach.
McLean Select wants to increase the number of players coming out to play basketball every year, and the coaches understand that they must provide a positive, interesting, competitive and fair try-out for all the players – please have your player try-out!
