The Ivey League: A Competitive Program for Advanced Players
1Try-Outs
Players will participate in a tryout to demonstrate their skill level and compete against other athletes. Coaches will observe the tryout and draft teams following the session.
Any player not selected in the draft will be offered a spot in the recreational league to continue their player development.
2Practices
Teams will have two mandatory practices per week. Coaches will focus on developing basketball IQ while implementing structured offensive and defensive concepts. Consistent practice attendance is essential, as it allows coaches to effectively teach game concepts, prepare players for live competition, and build strong team chemistry.
*Players who miss more than two practices may see their live game minutes significantly reduced, as practice participation is critical to team preparation and performance.
3Games
Games are typically played on Sundays and will take place in Sarasota, Florida, at one of our local gymnasiums.
Each player is guaranteed 8 minutes of playing time. Any additional minutes are earned based on effort, performance, and practice participation.
4Program Details
*Hand selected, experienced coaches.
*Certified officials.
*Approx. 10 week seasons
that run twice a year: January-April, and August-November.
