Douglas County Boys Feeder Tryouts: 4th - 8th grade

August 12, 2026: 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

August 14, 2026: 6:45 pm - 8:45 pm

​​​​

The Boys Basketball Feeder Program, under the direction of Head Coach Mike Gibbs, is preparing for a two-night tryout event for boys in grades 4th through 8th, taking place on Wednesday, August 12th from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM and Friday, August 14th from 6:45 PM to 8:45 PM.

​

During the two-night tryouts, players can expect drills and exercises that not only test their physical abilities but also challenge their mental toughness and teamwork skills. The first night, August 12th, will likely focus on fundamental skills, including shooting, dribbling, passing, and defensive techniques, giving coaches a sense of each player's foundational strengths. The second night, August 14th, will build on this, incorporating situational play and scrimmages to observe how players perform under pressure and work with teammates in game-like conditions.

For many, the tryouts represent more than just a chance to play basketball; they are an opportunity to be part of a program that embodies discipline, camaraderie, and school spirit. The Boys Basketball Feeder Program has built a reputation over the years for its hard-working athletes and competitive edge. This year, Coach Gibbs hopes to continue that legacy, drawing in players who are ready to put in the work and make sacrifices for the success of the team.

​

Parents and families are encouraged to support their aspiring athletes through the tryout process, ensuring they meet the registration requirements and come prepared both mentally and physically. Athletes should come ready to give their all, showcasing not only their skill but also their determination and resilience — the core values that Coach Gibbs prioritizes.

Ultimately, the two-night tryout is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting season. For those who make the team, it's the start of a journey filled with practices, games, and learning experiences. For Coach Gibbs, it's another year to shape young athletes into capable and confident individuals, both on and off the court.

The Boys Basketball Feeder Program invites all interested and eligible players in grades 4th through 8th to participate in this year's tryouts. With hard work, dedication, and the right mindset, each player has a chance to earn their spot on the team and contribute to a successful season.
