Please note - while we will work to hold firm to these dates, tryout time could change so please continue to check the schedule page to stay up to date on all WFBC events
PLAYERS SHOULD ATTEND AS MANY TRYOUTS AS POSSIBLE FOR THEIR AGE GROUP
The main portion of team evaluations will occur during the first two tryouts for each age group so players should make every effort to attend on those days. Naturally, players are highly encouraged to attend every tryout for their age group. FINAL SELECTIONS will be named the dates listed above for each age group.
IMPORTANT: Players (and parents) MUST BE prepared to make a financial commitment at the time of selection. Failure to make that commitment may result in losing a position on the team. ALL financial commitments made on player selection day are NON-REFUNDABLE. Back to Top TRYOUT FEES AND MEMBERSHIP FEES WFBC Teams will be based on the AAU Age Guidelines:
U10 through U17 will have a $25 tryout fee (one fee covers all tryout days) - U8, U9, and U10 teams will NOT have a tryout fee (checks should be made payable to WFBC).
WFBC will have two price structures for the 2009 Season:
*It should also be noted that the tournament fees for the U9 and U10 teams will be much lower than the team tournament fees for the older groups.
Basic Fees for the 2009 Season are as follows:
U8 and U9 - $250
U10 through U16 - $450
Once team selections are finalized, all players will also need to go online to get their AAU cards - WFBC Coaches will provide teams with required information. In order to help keep the costs of the program at a minimum, returning players on U12 through U16 will be able to use their dazzle game uniforms from last season - New players for U12 though U16 (and any player who would like to order a new uniform) will be able to order a game uniform ($50 for for Black jersey, $50 for White Jersey, $45 for Shorts) - Uniform orders MUST be submitted immediately after team selection. U8 through U11 will not be required to have a dazzle game uniform. Fees DO NOT include cost of travel expenses and coaches' travel expenses (WFBC limits player costs for coaches' expenses to two coaches on any given trip). Coaches may also elect to play additional tournaments which are not a part of the basic fee structure - Coaches will have this information readily available at tryouts. Parents/Guardians should be prepared to make basic fee payment in full on the day of selection. Uniform payments will require 50% on order and the remaining 50% on delivery. ALL WFBC Membership fees are NON-REFUNDABLE and not PRO-RATED. NOTE: Any players with a delinquent fee from a previous season will be required to pay all outstanding WFBC fees as well as 2008 Membership fees IN FULL on the day of selection. ALL balances for current year (2008) memberships must be paid by 1 April. Players will not be allowed to participate beyond that date if fees have not been paid. Anyone unsure about previous balances should contact the General Manager prior to tryout dates. Families with financial difficulties should contact the General Manager to discuss possible options available to the player and the family to obtain a Regular Membership. We do not want financial difficulty to hinder a player from realizing opportunities provided by this organization.
We often have questions about "playing up." We encourage ALL players to try out in their respective age groups. This year, with the new age determination dates, most players will have the opportunity to play with their classmates. However, on RARE occasions, a player may exhibit ELITE skills that will allow her to play in an older age group. Players in this category should read our policy regarding playing up. WFBC Policy regarding "Playing Up" Athletes who desire to "play up" MUST make a formal request to the General Manager (email). The request should include the parent's name, the player's name, the player's date of birth, the player's experience level and a brief explanation of why the player should be considered. If approved, the General Manager will provide a schedule and instructions that the player MUST follow in order to be considered for an older age group. Once the player attends a tryout at the higher age level, the higher age group National coach can select that player for the higher age group if the player is clearly evaluated in the top 5 or 6 players in that group. If a player does not demonstrate abilities to perform well in the higher age group, the player will be moved back to their actual age group. If there is a conflict regarding where a player should be placed, the WFBC General Manager will make the final decision regarding that player. |
