Overview

Our Club Basketball program at Shepherd Sports is made up of teams ranging in ages from 8-14. Our teams train and compete at a high level within the AAU circuit and local competitive leagues and tournaments. We put great emphasis on building every player with Godly character while teaching them the fundamentals and competitive skills of basketball. We hold tryouts twice yearly... once in the Spring and once in the Fall. The tryout process is Free, but we ask every player to register before showing up.

Tryouts Details

There are no fees for our tryouts and we're completely open to the public. Parents, please arrive early to sign your player up and get us your proper contact info. We ask that all parents stay for the entire tryout. During this time we will try to answer all your questions. We have 2 tryouts for each age group and we encourage players to attend both sessions, but every player must attend at least one tryout date in order to be considered for a team. We ask that all new families please read the CLUB BASKETBALL PARENT INFORMATION packet during tryouts. This will give you an idea of how our club runs and the emphasis that we put on practice and the spiritual side of our club.
