A FEW THOUGHTS ON THE SELECTION PROCESS…
1.) The coaches of the Parkland Lady Trojan Basketball Program are looking for young ladies who
excel in the following areas to participate in our program:





Possess specific physical qualities including strength, speed and athleticism
Represent their individual schools and the Parkland School District in a positive manner
Intangibles such as determination, effort, heart and commitment
Demonstrate an understanding of, and an ability to work within, the team concept
Exhibit individual basketball skills and talents
The candidates who are best able to demonstrate the traits above will be selected to join the
Lady Trojan program and charged with carrying on the tradition of excellence at the middle
and high school levels. Please keep those areas in mind as you prepare for November 16th.
2.) Players must have a valid athletic physical to participate. No player may participate until her
physical form has been submitted to, and approved by, the PHS athletic office. Physicals will
be offered for all female winter athletes on Saturday Oct. 13th from 8-10am @ PHS.
3.) All players will begin the team selection process at their grade specific level. All 7th-8th
graders will begin with their appropriate middle school, 9th graders with the junior high, 10th
graders with the junior varsity and all 11th-12th graders with the varsity. The coaching staff will
determine any possible player movement between levels during the team selection process.
4.) Players involved in a fall Parkland School District sponsored athletic program are excused
from try-outs if their season is still in session during the basketball selection process. Those
players will receive a three-day try-out following the completion of their season.
5.) If you have any questions between now and November 16th please email the appropriate
coach, or the athletic trainer if the question pertains to physicals.
