BELIEVE BASKETBALL PHILOSOPHY AND POLICIES
Believe Basketball is a select TEAM organization,and constantly strives for success through tournament and league play at the elite level, therefore playing time or roster spots are not guaranteed, nor is it "Pay to Play." The organization is committed to developing each and every player, however games and tournaments are focused on winning as a TEAM, and therefore the best players according to the coaches and thier requirements/assessment will recieve the most playing time. This is consistent with most select level sports organizations. The tournaments we enter are designed for elite level play and competition and are not recreational. In fairness to the TEAM all players, the coaches reserve the right to determine the lineups and playing time, based on positioning the team with the best chance to win.
The organization has developed a policy to allow as much playing time as possible for tournament play when there are enough players in a particular grade division. The coaches at their discretion will assign players to a designated roster and will notify them accordingly. The goal is for select players to participate in one tournament per month. Each month's tournament teams play typically on different weekends, so a player may be given the opportunity to cross over to different Believe teams. If a player is chosen to cross over and he chooses to participate then he will be responsible for the additional tournament fee if applicable.
Tryouts: Tryouts are conducted periodically throughout the year as determined by the coaches when the need arises, a new season starts, or slots on teams need to be filled. Tryouts are designed to be unbiased, objective and fair to ALL players. those not selected are highly encouraged to continue with the Believe Program, will be provided with an assessment of skills needed to work on, and by continuing with Believe will recieve the high quality of individualized attention in order to help them excel in their basketball skill development.
