Girls and boys basketball tryouts begin November 17. 

At Eckstein we have both varsity and JV teams.  The varsity team is made up of primarily 8th graders and competes against teams from across the district on a weekly basis.  Our JV program is made up of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who are interested in improving their basketball skills; JV players compete against each other and other schools as games can be scheduled.  All players are encouraged to participate with our JV program, however our varsity teams are formed through a series of tryouts.

In order to tryout, all athletes must have a current physical, sport specific safety guidelines, a concussion release waiver and an Eckstein athletics “blue card” turned into the athletics director. All of these documents can be picked up in the Main Office.
