2023 SPRING-SUMMER SEASON OVERVIEW

• MONDO competitive boys teams will compete in local and regional tournaments and showcases. Upper level teams will travel out of state in July.

WHAT to EXPECT at TRYOUTS

• Players check in and prior to starting, all grades are photographed and tryouts are filmed.
• Players will be put through a variety of competitive 1-on-1 to 5-on-5 games to gauge a player's level of play, athleticism, work ethic, attitude, commitment level, and IQ.
• Verbal invitations are commonly made on-the-spot. A more formal invitation will be emailed to families that are chosen for a competitive team, typically within 48 hours after a tryout session concludes.
• Players that don't make a competitive team may be offered skills training.
• We provide a basketball skills development path for most any student-athlete.

TIPS to make the most of an EVALUATION/TRYOUTS

• Attend all tryout sessions if possible.
• Bring your own ball and spill-proof water bottle.
• Arrive early and greet the Coaches beforehand.
• Be social and vocal (there is no room for timidity and shyness in competitive basketball).
• Listen and move with urgency (show that you want it).
• Demonstrate a positive attitude and BE COACHABLE.
• Commit to and play DEFENSE (don't be a lazy one dimensional player that only wants to score).
• Have FUN!

MONDO Athletics offers premium basketball training and strives to be fair at all times. We operate based on a monthly subscription model. Our research confirms that our costs, for the high quality instruction, are up to 60% less than other comparable clubs in Colorado! Dues each month for those that make a MONDO competitive team include the basics required to compete:

1. Dedicated practices led by certified trainers and proven coaches.
2. 24-Hour Fitness membership (or you can use your own).
   
3. ​Game Uniform (purchase to own).
4. Tournaments or showcases that MONDO competitive teams compete in.

The actual costs may vary between teams and season-to-season. 

What if My Student-Athlete Doesn't Make a Competitive Basketball Team?
If a player attends an open tryout session and does not receive an invitation to join a MONDO competitive AAU basketball team, PLEASE DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED.  Other training options may be offered, like skills training.

Remember, while games are great at TESTING a player's skill and character, skills and fundamentals training is how players make real gains.
