2008 FALL SEASON BASKETBALL

Dear Parents and Players:

Welcome again to the beginning of another exciting spring season.  The coaches and I are extremely eager to begin working with all of our present players and our new players as well. We have managed to acquire some extremely talented players over the course of the past year and we expect these players to compliment our present players very well.

Before I explain what will happen this fall, I would like to recap our previous seasons and the changes to our organization. This past year our club made some dramatic changes in the way we organized, selected and managed our teams.  We felt as an organization that we needed to become more competitive in order to maintain and retain the talent we have built up and acquired.  We have done this with flying colors.  For example, our 8th grade team brought the club our best record ever by going undefeated throughout the last JAM season; only losing one game in the finals of the tournament.

This fall we will attempt to continue our success while upgrading our player development program.  We will attempt to put more concentration on preparing our players for high school and eventually college basketball.  At the high school level, this means creating a portfolio for all the high school coaches that will be coaching a Colorado Fever player.  At the college lever, this means getting our players in front of as many college recruiters as possible and assisting our parents with the recruitment process.  We will be detailing this new program on our website shortly.

Once again we will have a tryout session.  The cost to attend this session will be $5, which will be used to pay for the gym time.  The tryouts for 4th – 7th grade will be on Saturday August 9, 2008 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm at the Beck Recreation Center. Tryouts for 8th through 9th grade will also be on Saturday August 9, 2008 from 3:00pm to 5:00pm at the Beck Recreation Center.  Please remember to arrive a little early to complete the registration process.  This is a MANDATORY tryout session in which players will be evaluated for team placement. Players not attending the tryout session may risk not being placed on a team.  Registered players who are not placed on a team will be refunded the entire registration fee, not including the fee for the tryout.  Also, since the club has grown so tremendously, we will only carry enough kids to max out 1 to 3 teams in each division.  The exact number will be based on coaching availability and player abilities.  WE ALSO URGE EACH PLAYER TO INVITE AS MANY FRIENDS TO OUR TRYOUT SESSION.  This will help in creating additional teams for players needing a spot.

The fall fees are as follows:

·     The 2008 Club Fall Fee will be $150 – This fee includes the fee for JAM and the gym time.  Fees are due on August 9, 2008 at registration during the tryouts.  Players not paying the fee at this time will not be placed on a team.  

·     For players without a Colorado Fever uniform, the cost for a new uniform will be $55.  These uniforms will be used for all subsequent seasons.  Orders must be placed and paid for at the tryout session in order to be received by the first game.

(NOTE: There is no longer a uniform buyback program.  We tried this last spring and the club lost money due to some uniforms not being repurchased.  However, we STILL URGE our players to DONATE old uniforms to the club.  We have situations in which some players may need to purchase used uniforms at a low cost.

Should you wish to make your registration payments early or submit a down payment for fees or uniforms, you are more than welcomed to do so.  This will speed up your registration time and also assure that your players will have a uniform prior to the first game.  To do so, please complete the attached Player Information form, make all payments payable to Colorado Fever Athletic Association and mail to:

Colorado Fever Athletic Association
PO Box 460801
Aurora, CO 80046

If you have already completed the online version of this form, there is no need to send in the information form again.  If you are ordering a uniform, I will need your size request.

Thanks and I looking forward to a great season.

Sincerely,
Coach Keith Howard
