Try-Out Info
Each year we evaluate a large number of players. Some players have extensive playing backgrounds, while others do not. Players are evaluated on attitude, teamwork, and skill execution such as ball handling, shooting, etc. We base our selections on what the athletes do during the open gym/tryout period and what we perceive their potential to be. We select athletes based on the following criteria: athletic ability, work ethic, drive, coachability, competitive attitude, skill ability, and potential.
We expect you to have a great attitude, to work hard, improve your game, and to compete with your teammates for playing time and team placement. There is no guarantee of equal playing time, or team placement. Your playing time and team placement is determined by you.
It is important to note that new players will be evaluated each year to fill the needs on specific teams. If additional players and coaches are available, additional teams may be added. We will evaluate the new players at open gyms/tryouts, which will combine many of our existing players with new players looking to join our program. It is each player’s responsibility to come into the open gyms/tryouts ready to make a team in our program.
Anyone who has a serious medical condition should speak with the head coach or administrator prior to the start of the tryout and the regular season.

General Information
Season
Our season runs from mid-April until the end of June. Teams typically practice 2-3 times a week and attend a minimum of 3 tournaments. Coaches / teams also have the option of attending additional tournaments in July if they choose to.
Costs

The fee covers: uniforms and clothing (reversible jersey and shorts, bag and warm-up ), gym rentals, insurance, tournament entry fees, equipment and additional club costs. Note: travel costs are not covered by the registration fee.
- $150 Coaches Expenses and General Club Fee. This fee helps to cover travel and honorarium-related expenses for the coaches. This post-dated cheque is due within one week of the try-out dates. The Red Deer Heat Basketball Club holds two major fundraisers: the RD Heat Banquet and the RD Heat Free Throw Shooting Marathon. If you or your child participate in the fundraisers, the cheque is ripped up and you will not be charged the $150.
