TO ALL REGISTERED PLAYERS

Posted by Michael Polikoff on Sep 30 2008 at 05:00PM PDT in 2018-19
Now that you have registered to play in the Forest Hills Basketball League for the 2009 season your next step is to attend the REQUIRED player evaluations and ratings session for your age group according to the schedule shown on the next page. Your “age” is the age you will be on December 31, 2009:

This year we are implementing a new procedure for the purpose of evaluating our players. We will be holding 2 mandatory evaluation sessions; the first round will involve basic skills drills and a limited scrimmage. The second round will involve scrimmages only with the league administration moving the players from one squad to another as we attempt to balance out the division.

Round 1:
Ages 11, 12     Monday, October 5
Ages 13, 14     Wednesday, October 7
Ages 9, 10      Thursday, October 8
 

Please check the following schedule for your specific time to arrive. The schedule has been prepared alphabetically ACCORDING TO YOUR LAST NAME in order to minimize the overcrowding that previously took place in the waiting area and the length of time parents had to wait for their children to be evaluated. Please do not come at any other time except the one for which you are scheduled. We will NOT take players out of the order set forth on the schedule:

Oct 5 – ages 11, 12:
Letters A through I                          report at 6:30 pm
Letters J through R                         report at 7:00pm
Letters S through Z                         report at 7:30 pm

Oct 7– ages 13, 14:
Letters A through I                          report at 6:30 pm
Letters J through R                         report at 7:00 pm
Letters S through Z                         report at 7:30 pm

Oct 8 – ages 9, 10:
Letters A through I                          report at 6:30 pm
Letters J through R                         report at 7:00pm
Letters S through Z                         report at 7:30 pm

Round 2:
Ages 9, 10     Saturday, October 10      9am (all players)
Ages 11, 12    Saturday, October 10     11am (all players)
Ages 13, 14    Saturday, October 10     1pm (all players)
 

All sessions will be held at Halsey Junior High School located at 102nd Street and 64th Ave, Rego Park. Enter the gym through the metal door on 64th Ave.

Please allow approximately 1 ½  hours for your evaluation session. You may wear shorts or sweatpants, T-shirt or tank top, and you must be wearing sneakers. We suggest you bring a bottle of water with you in case the school fountains are not working. Parents are encouraged to help support our League by purchasing FHBL merchandise while you wait.

The player evaluations and ratings session is MANDATORY. It enables us to rate your skill level so that we can form the teams in your division as fairly as possible. Failure to show up for your evaluation makes it impossible for us to know your skill level and to make an informed decision as to where you should be placed.

Upon arrival, report to the Reception Desk to register for your evaluation and to receive your numbered tag. Listen carefully for your number to be called – If you don’t listen, you won’t hear the announcement. When you are finished with your evaluation, remove your tag and safety pin before leaving the building.

PARENTS ARE NOT PERMITTED INTO THE 2ND GYM WHERE THE EVALUATIONS ARE TAKING PLACE.
PLEASE DO NOT DISRUPT THE SESSIONS BY TRYING TO PEAK INSIDE.

If you have any questions, please contact the via email.
