About Our Teams

We teach players of all abilities and ages. Our youth program has 3 levels of teams called LOCAL, HEAT and FIRE.

Team Selection and Placement
Each season San Diego Sol will conduct tryouts for its various teams. Each prospective player must come to tryouts prepared and ready to show his/her basketball abilities. Former and current San Diego Sol players are not guaranteed a playing position on any team. Earning a position on a team will be based on upon the following criteria:

Skills and Abilities
Heart, Effort and Hustle
Commitment to the Team
Work Ethic and Drive
Potential (e.g. height, athletic ability, exceptional learning ability)
Coach-ability and Respect

At the club’s discretion, individual players may be moved from one team to another. If, during the course of season, a player’s skills or level of commitment diminish then he/she may be moved from his/her current team to another team.

As any player’s skills and commitment level improve, we may ask her to move to a higher-level team. These changes in the roster might be necessary to assure the appropriate competitive level for each team and to insure the maximum benefit to each player.

Grade/Age Levels
We participate in two types of tournaments/leagues; one based upon Grade and the other based upon Age Group

• Grade: A player can compete at or above his/her current grade.  For example if the player is in 4th grade then he/she may compete against 5th graders. However, a player may not compete at a grade level below his/her current grade.
  
  Most of the tournaments/leagues we participate in are grade level:
  
  

  Age - girls		Age - boys
  9 under/4th Grade		10 under/4th Grade
  10 under/5th Grade		11 under/5th Grade
  11 under/6th Grade		12 under/6th Grade
  12 under/7th Grade		13 under/7th Grade
  13 under/8th Grade		14 under/8th Grade

• Age Group:
  Girls can compete at or above her age group based upon how old she is on January 1st of the current year for AAU competitions.

• Boys can compete at or above his age group based upon how old he is on September 1st of the current year for AAU competitions.
