Geoff Golden Basketball will be operating the 2011-12 Chaparral HS Gold Tryouts at Sierra Middle School in Parker, Colorado.  There are two scheduled sessions September 7th and September 14th both running from 7:30-9pm.

The tryouts will be operated in a workout format that will cover all basic skills in a competitive environment.  The idea is to give the athletes a great workout that allows them to improve as players while showcasing their abilities and competitive spirit in a way that involves a fair evaluation process for the coaches.

Session 1: September 7th is open to all competitive girls in the 7th & 8th grade.  Registration begins at 7:15pm and the work begins at 7:30 sharp!  The tryout will conclude at 9pm.  There will also be a parent meeting as tryouts begin at 7:30.

Session 2: September 14th is open to all competitive girls in the 5th & 6th grade. Registration begins at 7:15pm and the tryouts will begin at 7:30 and will conclude at 9pm.  There will be  a parent meeting as tryouts begin at 7:30.

Below is a quick note from director Pat Ford that contain a few other details and contact/registration information:

“It’s that time again for the Chaparral Gold Crown basketball tryouts.

The Gold Crown league is a great opportunity for the girls to play at a higher level. Tryouts for the 5^th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade teams will be Wednesday evening, September 7th, at Sierra Middle School. If you are interested in playing, please plan to attend. Twice-a-week practices for the Gold Crown season will begin the week of November, with the league games beginning in January. There are tournaments in November and December as well. The league will run through the end of February, and then there is a two week post-season tournament. Click here for more information about the Gold Crown league.

Chaparral (AZ) High School senior standout Nick Tomsick was named Arizona All-State and Desert Valley All-Region after leading the Firebirds to a runner-up finish in the Arizona 5A-II State Championship.  Tomsick, a 6′1 combo guard led the Firebirds in scoring this season (16 ppg) after transferring last summer from Broomfield High School in Colorado. 

Tomsick’s perimeter versatility and  explosive scoring will make him a valuable asset at the next level.  He carries a 3.5 GPA and was also named academic all-state.   He has not yet decided where he will attend college.
