    - Players are expected to attend evaluations.  If for some reason your son or daughter cannot make it, and you have not already let me know, please notify me at mginskey@yahoo.com.

    - Please have your player wear a shirt or jersey with their name on the back to help evaluators identify players. If you don't have a shirt with your name printed on it, athletic tape and sharpie work great!

    - Please have your player arrive 10-15 minutes prior to evaluations so they can get their basketball shoes on and be ready to start on time. Evaluations will start at the scheduled time.

    - Your player can bring a water bottle for drink breaks or use the drinking fountain. They do not need to bring a basketball as balls will be provided.

    - Only evaluators are allowed in the gyms during evaluations. Parents are not allowed in the gym at any time.


    Thank you for your support of OBA and we look forward to seeing you this season!
