What if I play another sport?

It is possible for student-athletes to participate in FBA Club / Travel season while playing another sport. However, FBA requires the student-athlete to meet the following requirements:

• Club Team (All Grades): Student-athletes must attend at least 1 practice per week and most of the games.

Given the fact the costs for the team remain constant, the dues for the season remain the same.

• Participants must wear a mask when entering and leaving the gym but don’t need them on when practicing.
• Participants must arrive for their workout in the 10 minute time frame prior to their workout. Participants should not arrive more than 10 minutes early.
• Health Screens: Each day, participants and coaches will receive a contactless temperature check when they arrive and will be able to participate if their temperature is within required guidelines.
• Participants will be asked to share if any health conditions have changed from the previous day or week.
• All immediate workout sites are closed to spectators. Anyone watching will have to remain off the courts, and must observe from outside the facility.
• Hand sanitizer will be available to all participants and staff.

Participants:

• Participants are encouraged to bring water bottles to the workouts, but the bottles must be clearly labeled with the participants name.
• Participants must bring their own basketball to the workout.
• Participants will be encouraged to stay home if they are feeling sick or exhibiting any symptoms of illness.

Players must participate in the practice to be considered for placement on a team. See the practice schedule below for detailed information.

Please register online before the tryout.

Boys Tryouts: Sunday, March 21st (ALL TIMES AND LOCATIONS ARE TENTATIVE):

• Location: Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa on Fairview Road
• 3rd & 4th Grade: 6:00 - 6:45pm
• 5th - 7th Grade: 6:50 - 7:40pm
• 8th & 9th Grade: 7:45 - 8:30pm

There will be at least one team at each grade level.

Practice Schedule:

March 21 - July 25

• (The official schedule will be posted after tryouts.)
• (No practice the week of April 11-16 because of spring break.)

We ask that each player bring a ball to every session.

All practices are scheduled in advance and players are expected to attend practices. Teams will normally practice twice per week (one team practice and one skills clinic) for 60 or 75 minutes. Every effort will be made to follow practice schedules as closely as possible, however, things happen. Please be flexible and cooperative when practice schedules need to be changed.

As there are school activities and other commitments, which may conflict with practice from time to time, coaches will work with players and parents individually in those cases. To emphasize player responsibility, the player (and not the parent) who will miss a practice is expected to notify the coach ahead of time that he will miss practice and the reason why. Program basketball players are expected to commit themselves to a rigorous practice schedule, and their team depends on them to do so. Playing time will be affected by unexcused absences or tardiness.

FBA players who are placed on a club team are committed to developing their skills in an effort to compete competitively will participate on FBA Club teams. This team will practice twice per week and will participate in local tournaments. The focus will be on fundamentals and preparing to excel at a higher level of competition. The purpose of the development program is to provide in-depth instruction with continued focus on fundamentals and skill development.
