RequiredOne session minimum
Attending 2 is strongly encouraged.
Participation at tryouts is required for players to be rostered by SDK.
Failure to attend the required number of sessions may negatively impact the player's position on the roster and roster considerations moving forward.
With numerous tryout dates available, we prefer players tryout with their grade. Any exception to this requirement will be made at the sole discretion the co-director of your son's grade.
If a player is unable to fully participate because of an injury or other medical condition, he is still expected to attend the minimum number of sessions for his grade to support his teammates and show his commitment to being part of the program. His attendance counts toward that minimum.
If this applies to your son, let us know at check-in. The player, a parent, and our registration staff will review the medical recommendation together — limited participation or no participation.
SessionsRunning order
The grade order changes from session to session. These are the days as they run.
EvaluationHow players are assessed
Every player is evaluated by a diverse set of criteria by several independent evaluators.
At South Dayton Knights, coachability is our highest standard—because it's essential for skill improvement and on-court success.
