SUMMER LEAGUE PLAY FOR INCOMING ALTER FRESHMAN:

The Alter high school coaching staff sponsors summer league participation by Alter school teams at all 3 levels (Freshman, JV and Varsity). To form a list of boys to invite as incoming Freshman, they start by contacting those kids who have played on the SDK 'A' feeder teams and then 'B' teams, if they exist.

They also might use information on boys they've gotten by making their own observations at CYO/SDK games and/or at the Alter Basketball Summer camp. The possibility also exists that transfers come into the program - who also may be considered.

There is a limit to how many boys might be invited - which is usually around 15. Typically, that is enough to be sure the top prospects are covered. All programs leverage their junior high teams to seed their Summer League play.

OPEN GYMS:

Open gyms are also available to all levels, including incoming Freshman. Information on dates/times for open gyms will be as widely communicated as possible via emails / word of mouth. There are a few in the Spring, most are in the Summer and even more of them in September and October, at which time the incoming Freshman have already started school at Alter.
