To all the families who encouraged their student to participate in basketball tryouts, we thank you. We know how much effort and heart every student brought to the court, and we deeply admire their dedication, sportsmanship, and passion for the game. Due to the challenge of balancing team size with school and league requirements, not everyone could be offered a roster spot. Still, we encourage your student to continue building their basketball skills, and Ballard Basketball offers both camps and in house leagues. Hamilton’s coaches have seen their programing benefit many players over the years, and they encourage families to explore this option if their student has an interest. https://ballardbasketball.org/
