Interim Athletic Director – Joey Harris (please call 386-3328 for questions) Commissioner – Kristen Spence I wanted to take a minute of your time to explain the selection process that your child will go through as they enter 5th grade basketball. Unlike 1st – 4th grade sports where each child’s name is drafted by random pick and assigned to a team, 5th grade and up requires an evaluation and selection process. For example: All 5th grade boys will be evaluated at the same time by coaches and others who do not have children in this division. The coaches for this age group will be allowed to be part of the process in evaluating and selecting players. Each evaluator goes by the same criteria, and at the end of the evaluations we will have our select team which consists of all 5th graders. The remaining 5th graders who were not assigned to the all 5th grade team will be assigned to a combo team which consists of 5/6th grade boys together. The all 5th grade team will be in a league division that is competitive against other PAA all 5th grade teams. The 5/6 combo teams play in a different division where they will compete against only combo teams from other schools. All PAA schools follow this process to establish the leagues and divisions each of the players and teams are competing in during the season. During the evaluations each child will be graded on how well they display individual drills such as dribbling, shooting, ball handling, over-all form, passing, and working together as a team. Evaluators will have a score card with only a number on the card and not your child’s name. As each player enters the gym they will be assigned a number to wear on the back of their shirt. This way names are not available to those evaluating, only a number. Once the evaluations are complete, teams will be selected according to individual scores. I hope this helps explain the process to those who are new to evaluations. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at the number listed below. Good luck to you all, Sharron Finney Interim Athletic Director – Joey Harris (please call 386-3328 for questions) Commissioner – Kristen Spence
