TO ALL REGISTERED PLAYERS - 2007 SEASON

Posted by Michael Polikoff at Sep 29, 2007 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

Now that you have registered to play in the Forest Hills Basketball League for the 2007 season your next step is to attend the REQUIRED player evaluations and ratings session for your age group according to the schedule below. Your “age” is the age you will be on December 31, 2007:

Ages 9, 10   Friday, Sept. 28
Ages 11, 12  Friday, October 5
Ages 13, 14  Friday, October 12

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 2 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.

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:

Sept 28 – ages 9, 10:  
Letters A through I   report at 6:30 pm
Letters J through R  report at 7:15 pm
Letters S through Z  report at 8:00 pm

Oct 5 – ages 11, 12:  
Letters A through I   report at 6:30 pm
Letters J through R  report at 7:15 pm
Letters S through Z  report at 8:00 pm

Oct 12 – ages 13, 14:  
Letters A through I   report at 6:30 pm
Letters J through R  report at 7:15 pm
Letters S through Z  report at 8:00 pm

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 your number called.

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.
