DOES EVERYONE MAKE A TEAM? HOW ARE TEAMS STRUCTURED?
Not everyone that attends tryouts will make a team. Roster invitations are sent out via email 7-10 days after the conclusion of tryouts and will include coach’s background, practice dates/times, tournament calendar and anticipated competition level. Youth basketball is structured into Division I (Highest Level of Youth Competition), Division II, Division III. At most grades levels, we will have multiple teams at similar competition levels.
WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT? WHERE ARE TOURNAMENTS LOCATED?
MOKAN players can expect to attend two 75-90 minute practices, typically held between 5:30-9:15 pm, Monday through
Thursday evenings. Practices will be held at The MOKAN Training Facility i n Overland Park. All tournaments are held within the Greater Kansas City-area (Johnson County, Lawrence, Liberty and Independence).
MOKAN teams play 5-8 weekend games/month in tournament or tournament + league format.
WHAT IS THE COST?
Monthly player fees are due the month PRIOR to participation. Monthly player fees cover all gym rental costs, tournament entry fees, team insurance, coach and administration fees. There is a one-time uniform fee (approximately $120) that includes a jersey, shorts and Nike shooting shirt. All team participants are liable for the full cost of a roster spot upon acceptance of that spot for the entire season which runs from September-March. There will be no exceptions allowed without administrative approval.
