5th Grade Boys

The Central Illinois Predators will be holding basketball tryouts for their Boys’ 5th Grade Club Team from 9:30 AM – 11:00 on Sunday December 6th and December 13, 2009 at THE GYM of Springfield. All 5th grade boys are invited to tryout. The roster will consist of 8 – 10 players. Depending on the skill level and the number of players who tryout, we may have a second Predators team this year.

The Predators are looking for players who are dedicated to the sport, want to sharpen their skills, and want to compete against the best players at their age level. Doug Allen will be the coach for the upcoming season.

The Central Illinois Predators is a competitive club basketball program offered at THE GYM of Springfield. The club was established to fill a need in the Central Illinois area for talented girls and boys who want to play at the most competitive levels of basketball. It is our goal to compete with other teams vying for State, Regional and National titles. The team will compete in approximately six tournaments throughout the state and Midwest. Each player who makes the team is expected to commit through the summer.

Club Fees for the spring will be approximately $260 per player and the fee will be due as soon as the player makes the team. Actual fees will depend on the number of players on the team and the number of tournaments entered. Club fees cover coaching, practice facilities, two sets of uniforms (excluding shoes, take $80 off if you have a uniform from last season), team equipment, and tournament costs. Hotel and travel accommodations are the responsibility of the individual not the club.
