Welcome OE Parents and Players,

Oakland Elite will host Tryouts September 11th and 18th..  We are asking players to try and attend both tryouts. If you can not make a date just let us know in the comment portion.  TRYOUTS ARE located at Lutheran Northwest HS.  Please be sure to register online as we are not accepting walkin players.  Registration is good for both dates.  

Parents are asking should/do we need to attend one or both tryout dates.  My advise to particpants, please try and attend both dates.  Attending both dates will give you the best opportunity to showcase yourself to coaches. We are asking all players to bring water bottle, and a basketball.  Parents are welcomed  to attend and stay for tryouts. 

Tournament Schedules are not set in stone but we will play 6-11 events.  Every team could have a different schedule based off their coach final decisions.  The season will run Nov - March with one/two times a week practice.  Please plan to budget for $600 - 1000 for the season which will include uniform, practices, tournament fee and coaches fee.

We will announce final rosters September 20th.  We will send an email inviting you to accept a position and we will also send out emails for those who do not make a team.
