Division Rosters Updated

updated 10/19/23 at 11:42pm

Please see the rosters below.  If your child's name does not appear on a Division roster please send an email to president@westsanjosenjb.com.  Your child may have been put on the wait list.  We can let you know the process from here.  If there is no practice time and date listed it is because your coach has not confirmed as of yet.  Please be sure to download the SportsEngine app as the rosters will be added there over the next couple of days.

Who is Eligible to attend a Division Evaluation

All registered players are eligible to attend the Division Evaluation.  If you were selected for an All Net team you are excluded from this evaluation.

 

What is the process on Evaluation Day

Player check in will begin 15 minutes before each evaluation.  Each player will receive a practice pinnie which must be returned at the conclusion of the evaluation.  Players should bring their own ball as well as a water bottle.  Players will perform drills and scrimmage with other players.  After the evaluations are completed team lists will be posted to the West San Jose website.

 

What if my player cannot make Evaluation Day

If you are unable to make these times there are no other options to be evaluated prior to the player draft and team formation.  Please do everything you can to attend this evaluation.

 

Why are Boys and Girls being evaluated together

Unfortunately, we have limited gym time to hold evaluations.  Allowing all players to be evaluated with their grade level allows for the most even workout session. 

 

What happens if my player is not placed on a Division Team

If there are players that are not selected for a Division team, for whatever reason, those players will be placed on the wait list.  Those players will be placed on teams if other players withdraw.  If spots do not open up we will do our best to contact other chapters to see if they have openings.  If they do not we will refund all players on the waitlist.

 

Should you have any questions please feel free to reach out.  You can find additional information at www.westsanjosenjb.com.

Who is Eligible to Try Out for an All Net Team

All registered players are eligible to try out for an All Net team.  There is no additional cost to try out.  If your child is selected for an All Net team there may be an additional cost.

 

What is the process on Try Out Day

Player check in will begin 15 minutes before each evaluation.  Each player will receive a practice pinnie which must be returned at the conclusion of the evaluation.  Players should bring their own ball as well as a water bottle.  Players will perform drills and scrimmage with other players.  After the evaluations are completed team lists will be posted to the West San Jose website.

 

What if my player cannot make Try Out Day

We apologize for posting this workout time so late.  We were able to confirm the gym availability with the district just today.  If you are unable to make these times you can attend the Division tryouts which will occur at the same times next weekend (Oct 14-15).  If the teams are not formed, or if the coach determines they have space your player can be added to an All Net roster.

 

Why is there only One Day of tryouts for Girl’s All Net

We do not have as many girls registered for the upcoming season.  In previous seasons we have offered multiple tryouts and some sessions would have only four or five players.  To this end, we will have all sessions for Girls teams on Sunday. 

 

What happens if my player is not selected for an All Net team

All players not selected for an All Net team will be added to the draft for Division teams.  Those players not selected should plan to attend the Division Player Evaluation (Oct 14-15).

 

Should you have any questions please feel free to reach out.  You can find additional information at www.westsanjosenjb.com.
