2012-13 Season Teams WVBA will sponsor four (4) teams for the 2012-13 season. We will form the following teams:
WVBA Mizuno 16 (mostly 10th graders) *12s teams will be offered through a league format this year beginning in February. Each team will carry a roster of ten-twelve (10-12) players. Each team will have a Head Coach and Assistant Coach. Teams train in a collaborative training unit led by the unit leader/coach. All training units will be overseen by our Director of Coaching, Sarah Chase. This collaborative training environment allows for much deeper training of individual and team skills than the traditional 1 team/1 court model followed by most clubs in this area. Our goal is to have over 2,000 ball contacts for each player at every practice. Each unit will practice 3 weeknights each week (2 mandatory weeknights plus one optional practice each week) beginning in December through the end of June for a total of 200 hours of training per season. Our teams practice in public/private facilities located between Woodinville and Edmonds. |
Each team will compete approximately twice per month at day-long tournaments held both locally and for our traveling teams, major national tournaments across the U.S. Some tournaments will last for two or three days. The final tournament of the year will be the AAU Junior Nationals in Orlando and will be played over four days. Our auditions are open to all qualified student-athletes. Prior to registering for any of our auditions, please review the club policies above, especially related to playing time and GPA minimums.
