❓ FAQs

We evaluate players every time they’re in the gym (and even how they carry themselves off the court). New players attend assessments or pre-season training so we can place them appropriately. We collaborate as a staff to build rosters by similar skill level and experience—age is considered, but skill fit comes first.
