6th 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. Joby Crum and Rich Brown will be the coach for one of the Predator teams the upcoming season. Tina Freeman will coach the other team and this team will have its own schedule.

The Central Illinois Predators will be holding basketball tryouts for their Girls’ 6th Grade Club Team from 7:00-9:00 PM on Thursday, December 10th, 2009 at Springfield Grant Middle School, from 7:30-9:00 PM on Friday, December 11th and from 3:30-5:30 PM on Sunday December 13th at Grant Middle School of Springfield. Players will need to attend at least two of the dates and preferably all three. All 6th grade girls are invited to tryout. The roster will consist of 9 – 10 players. Depending on the skill level and the number of players who tryout, we will have a second Predators team again this season.
