5th GRADE GIRLS PREDATORS’
TRYOUT & TEAM INFORMATION

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 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. Sam Sinclair will be the coach for the upcoming season.

The Central Illinois Predators will be holding basketball tryouts for their Girls’ 5th Grade Club Team at 10:00 – 11:30 AM on Saturday April 9, 2011 at THE GYM of Springfield. All 5th grade girls are invited to tryout. Depending on the skill level and the number of players who tryout, we may have a second Predators team this year.

Tryout fee is $20.00 per person. The registration form is available on-line at www.predatorsbball.com, or at THE GYM of Springfield 1823 Camp Lincoln Rd. Springfield, IL 62704.
