Tryouts are at a different gym than practice

This location is for tryouts only. Regular training stays at PS 135 — The Bellaire School, Queens Village all season.

FIND YOUR TIME SLOT

Two 90-minute blocks, both courts running — so every player gets real reps and a real look.

Running a few minutes late? You're fine.

The first half hour of each block is check-in and warmups. You do not need to be on the floor at the top of the hour.

NOT READY FOR A TEAM YET?

Teams are the competitive track — they are not the only track. Instructional is open to every player, four days a week, and it is where most of our team players came from.

Coaches evaluate year-round during Instructional sessions. Miss tryouts, or not make a team this round? Keep training and we will tell you when you are ready.
