The VSC 2019-20 Fall / Winter AAU Tryouts will be run by our VSC coaching staff along with other guest coaches. Tryouts will include skills evaluation, drills and competitive scrimmages. Skill competencies, work ethic, and team attitude (coachability) are important factors that coaches consider in making their team selections.

All athletes are expected to tryout at their correct grade level. If it is determined by our coaches that a player should be moved up a grade, we will discuss this with the player and his/her family prior to making the decision to do so.

We would like to ask that all tryout participants, including recent Select Team members register online as soon as possible. This helps us determine both coaching and team requirements for the coming season.

The tryout cost is $20.00 for each player when registered online or $25.00 for on-site registration.

COACHES

VSC takes pride in having quality and well experienced coaches leading their teams. Our VSC coaches are NCCP certified and have significant levels of coaching and playing experiences; including National and Provincial Levels, Collegiate, Varsity High School and Grassroots Community coaching experiences.

Players touch the ball more often: In the 5-on-5 game, players can go almost the whole game without touching the ball. In 3 on 3, you could touch the ball EVERY possession. When the player gets more experience handling the ball during game situations, the player is going to improve much more than the players who hardly touch the ball in 5-on-5. It doesn’t matter if you are the point guard or the star post player, you’re still going to get more touches in 3 on 3.

More room to operate: A lot of younger players, especially under the age of 12 don’t have the skill, strength, or experience to utilize their basketball skills with 10 players on the court. 3 on 3 gives them more room to operate and practice their skills.

Players learn the game: When there are only six (3 on 3) players on the court, players are more inclined to run the pick-and-roll, screen away, and screen the ball without a coach even telling them to do so, because there are fewer options out there. After a while, they will start to figure things out for themselves which is FANTASTIC and exactly what you want the players to do. Now, with fewer players on the court, it gives them a split second longer to recognize a situation.

All participants must be enrolled in one of our membership packages to be able to play in the 3-on-3 house league.

Who can sign-up: VSC basketball camps are open to players of all skills levels from beginner to advance, and all genders.
