Basketball Tryouts for Current 5th-7th Graders

Tryouts are open to boys and girls from any school or community. In previous years, Fever has had middle school players from Cheyenne Wyoming to Greeley Colorado and various cities in between. Of our 2010 Fever players, almost 80% of middle school Fever players enjoyed playing on their respective school teams in Fall 2010. Players that are advanced for 4th grade may tryout for the current 5th grade team.

Teams will play in tournaments over various weekends starting in May until July, but not every weekend. The tournaments are located in the Northern Colorado/Denver area. Fever is a good fit for top players ready to play with other top players in the area. Most Fever players have experience on city recreational teams and/or middle school teams.

We are finalizing gym locations so we can announce tryout dates in early to mid April. As soon as we know, we will update the website and email everyone on our lists. If you are NOT receiving emails from us, Sign up for Emails so you get the news fast!

Work on your basketball game! Whether or not you are on a team now, continue to practice your fundamental basketball skills OUTSIDE of organized team practices. During team practices little time can be spent focusing on individual fundamental basketball skills - so personal time in the gym is necessary! To stand out at tryouts, you need to be doing MORE basketball preparation than others!
