Redmond Select will soon be hosting tryouts for girls entering grades 5-8 to develop skills and play basketball in a competitive environment. Tryouts will be held on Sept. 24 in the Redmond High gym, with fifth- and sixth- grades going from 6-7:30 p.m. and seventh- and eighth-grades from 7:30-9 p.m.

Participants are asked to arrive 30 minutes early to register.

Open gyms will also be held prior to tryouts from 6-7:30 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, starting on Sept 10.

In addition, Redmond Select is looking for experienced coaches to lead the program’s fifth- and eighth-grade girls teams. Interested parties should contact Kevin Leuning at (206) 799-0025 or by email at kleuning@gmail.com.

Redmond Select is a participant, with other area select programs, in the Puget Sound Travel League and a development program for competitive girls basketball. Players must live within Lake Washington School District’s Redmond High boundaries.
