SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Tryouts for the upcoming 7th-grade boys club basketball season will take place on August 13 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Lake Tahoe Community College PE Building Gym.
The 7th-grade club basketball team, the Bears, is an AAU-sanctioned club team that plays in tournaments in the region (mostly Reno but also Incline Village, Carson Valley, South Lake Tahoe, and this September, for the first time, the Sacramento area). In many respects, the program is similar in scope to club soccer programs such as STFC.
Bobby Jaeger is the club president and club founder. He coaches the rising 8th-grade boys’ teams. Jason Drew coaches the rising 6th-grade boys, and LTCC PE and health professor Walter Morris coaches the 7th-grade boys.
There are no girls’ teams at the South Lake Tahoe club level yet, but the club would like to add them if coaches are available.
All of the current coaches are volunteers and are long-time youth sports coaches.
