The registration and payment period for the AAU/Club season is open year round. Teams are to be determined based on returning players and those who tryout. Not all players make the OC Select Club Basketball Teams. For Training we allow and welcome any and all skills levels.

Basketball Players Who Do OTHER SPORTS:

It is possible for student-athletes to participate in the OC Select Basketball season while playing another sport. Please note OC Select does not allow players to play on 2 basketball club teams we believe it is a conflict of interest unless it is for a middle school league. With that being said, OCS requires the student-athlete to meet the following requirements:

Club Basketball Teams (All Grades): Student-athletes must attend at least one practice per week.. Furthermore, at least 95% of games should be attended. Being reliable is of utmost importance for a team to be successful. Playing time is based on performance and attendance. So your player may miss practice and is excused, but it still counts as a missed practice. Playing time can be effected.

Given the fact the costs for the team remain constant, the dues for the season remain the same. In other words, there is no discount or proration.

We have no parent head coaches in our program and we do not allow them.

 Team Placement & Practices

Our tryouts are on going. If you believe your player has the right skill set and looking for a higher level, contact us and we will have him come work out with the team of his age level and move forward from there,

There will be at least one team at each grade level.

PRACTICES:

We ask that each player bring a ball to every session.

All practices are scheduled in advance and players are expected to attend practices. Teams will normally practice twice per week (two team practices) for 60 or 75 minutes. Every effort will be made to follow practice schedules as closely as possible, however, things happen. Please be flexible and cooperative when practice schedules need to be changed. Any changes will be communicated prior.

As there are school activities and other commitments, which may conflict with practice from time to time, coaches will work with players and parents individually in those cases. To emphasize player responsibility, the player (and not the parent) who will miss a practice is expected to notify the coach ahead of time that he will miss practice and the reason why. Program basketball players are expected to commit themselves to a rigorous practice schedule, and their team depends on them to do so. Playing time will be affected by unexcused absences or tardiness.
