CANDIDATES MUST BE WAKEMAN
MEMBERS FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR PRIOR
TO TRYING OUT FOR TEAM.
We are assembling the team to give our loyal members a
chance to experience something more in terms of basketball and cultural
enrichment. Our clubhouse has much to offer besides just basketball and we
are looking to enhance the opportunities of the young men and women who are
not only playing basketball here, but interacting with our staff on a
regular basis and taking advantage of the many other programs we offer.
There will be a short parents meeting prior to the try-outs in October and
we ask that at least one parent be present for this meeting. There will be
many factors considered when determining the 12 players selected for this
opportunity. Ability will be a factor, but certainly not the only factor in
deciding who is going to represent Wakeman Boys & Girls Club.
OFFICIAL TRY-OUT DATES AND TIMES WILL BE
AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER.
CANDIDATES CAN SIGN-UP FOR TRY-OUTS BEGINNING SEPTEMBER
12TH.

PEE WEE BASKETBALL
LEAGUE
GRADES 3-5
$85
REGISTRATION-POSTMARK ON OR AFTER SEPTEMBER 3rd
This league will focus on skill development (and as the
season goes on), skill enhancement. Players are placed on teams based
on skill level and availability.
Teams will be coached by volunteer coaches who have successfully completed
the Wakeman Coaches
Certification Course. Course dates are listed in this book. The 3rd grade
division shoots at 9 ft. baskets. The 4th and
5th graders shoot at 10 ft. baskets. All Pee Wee leagues play with an
intermediate sized ball.
The difference
between Wakeman’s Pee Wee league and most others is that the Wakeman
coaches and staff will divide each team
into two squads: “Starters” and “Finishers”. “Finishers” are
players who are more experienced & only play against other “Finishers”
while “Starters” are players who are less experienced or beginners, and
play against other “Starters”. Each player must
attend an evaluation. Evaluation dates will be available after registration.
Practice begins the
week of November 3rd and is held Monday-Friday primarily between 5:00pm
& 8:45pm. Players will be assigned
to a team and a one-hour weekly practice time based on skill level,
availability and the school your child attends. A detailed
information packet will be mailed out after registration. This will include
practice time options, a conflict sheet, a volunteer
coaching form and more information about the program.
Each team will play
9 games on the following weekends: November 8/9, 15/16, 22/23 December 6/7,
13/14, January 3/4, 10/11,
17/18 and 24/25.

SPONSORS NEEDED !
Sponsorship of Wakeman
teams and leagues is a great inexpensive way to advertise your business
while also helping to fund Wakeman’s extensive program offerings. When a
business sponsors a team or league, the name of that business is screened
onto the shirts of all team members. Typically that means 10-12 children per
team wearing your name on their backs for eight straight weekends at the
club (not to mention all around town throughout the year). Hundreds of
community members will begin to recognize your business as a proud sponsor
of Wakeman youth athletic and educational programs! You can sponsor the team
of your own child, a neighbor, or our choice. Whether it is a 3rd grade pee
wee team, high school spring basketball team, or entire lacrosse league, we
have just the right shirt for your business.
In addition, your business name will be posted on our
Sponsor Board in the Warren Gym and you will receive a team photo/plaque to
display in your place of business!
2008-2009 Sponsor Fee per team (for Basketball and Pee
Wee) – $300 2009 Lacrosse Sponsor Fee per team – $550
Want to help in a different way? Wakeman is always
looking for sponsors of tournaments and special events. If
your business offers a product or service that may be beneficial to
Wakeman, let us know! For more information contact Rich at the club. We’d
love to hear from you!
