Woodinville Youth Basketball (Select)

The Youth Program
Woodinville Youth Basketball, also known as Select Basketball, sponsors teams in the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. It is the feeder program for Woodinville High School.  Each youth select team usually consists of 10 to 11 players, practices 3 times per week (starting in early October), and plays around 40 games including tournaments. Regular season games are played against other teams from the Eastside, and tournaments are played against some of the best teams in the Greater Puget Sound. The Select program is for the player looking for a competitive and challenging experience.   Click here to read the  Parent Letter and Commitment Form , which includes more detailed information regarding the program and financial commitment.  Parents will need to sign the second page of the Commitment Form and bring that to the first Tryout on September 18th along with the medical release form in order for your son to be eligible to tryout.
