Evaluations:

– This October, the MG Boys high school coaching staff, and the YMCA, are hosting evaluations. The goal behind evaluations is to get kids placed on the proper team so they can succeed. We aim to give all kids an equal opportunity to play at their appropriate level, and evaluations are what we think is best. (Evaluations are not tryouts, there will be no kid withheld from a team. Depending on numbers, some kids may be recommended for our Level 2 Intermediate YMCA program to continue to work on their skill development). 
– This year’s evaluation dates are Sunday, October 13th and Sunday, October 20th. Evaluations will be hosted at the MG Highschool gym (4400 Monona Dr, Monona, WI 53716)

– We understand that some participants may not be able to attend one or either of the evaluation dates. Not being able to attend evaluations is okay! They are not mandatory, but are highly encouraged.
