SPRING TEAMS
We have a number of coaches set that may include current and former area HS, JV,
& 9th grade coaches (current coaches, however, cannot coach any of their own
program's players) and/or college athletes and coaching minors. Still have a few
coaching spots open...
If you would be interested in a Paid Coaching Position for this spring,
please contact Andrew at AndrewDahl@HoopsTraining.com or 651-592-6099.
---Teams will play in 5 Tournaments between April 9th and July 10th.
---We will try our best to schedule tournaments so that each athlete will play in at least 4
tournaments. Tournament weekends will be selected after the team is formed based on
athlete availability.
---If you have a busy spring ahead of you and are worried about not making enough weekends, I
encourage you to attend tryouts and I may be able to give you a discounted rate if you can only
make 2 or 3 but still want to participate. (please contact Andrew on or before tryout day with your
concerns)
---There are different division levels for each grade & we will do our best to put each team in
challenging and competitive tournaments. The goal is to push all players to bring their game
to a new level!
All Athletes Must Register Online Prior To Tryouts!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
|
What about lodging/hotels? Players & families will be on their own to decide where to stay. You may stay with friends/relatives in the area. Discounted "team hotel" rates will be available again this year.
|
What about playing style? I would like to see a helping man-to-man defense and a motion offense from each team. Although there may be situations where modifications are needed.
|
Will I get my money back if I don't make a team or there aren't enough players to form a team for my age? Yes, of course. There is no fee to tryout. And we will try our best to get everyone on a team, possibly by moving athletes up if there isn't enough interest at a particular grade.

Make sure you're on the email list for all
of the latest info!
- Teams will play in 5 Spring/Summer Tournaments. Most will be in the Twin Cities Metro Area...
possibly 1 or 2 in South Dakota or Iowa.
- Practices will be in Mankato or surrounding area. There will be 8 practices throughout the season,
weekly or semi-weekly, so athletes can still play spring sports. Wednesday or Sunday nights have
been the preferred practice nights in the past, but will try to accommodate each player's availability in
determining a team's schedule. Please fill out the following calendar with dates that will work to
practice and play and bring it to tryouts: Calendar
(sample calendar filled out...if you want to see an example)
- Cost $410.00 per player…includes Jersey, Shorts, and Warm-up shirt. (which are yours to keep)
- Although there is no fee to tryout, we will need a commitment by that night that you are willing to play
on a team if selected.
- Each player will have the option to have a link on the Team Roster Page to a personal
www.beRecruited.com profile page with option to include, pictures, videos, and other information
