About Our Teams
We teach boys and girls of all abilities and ages. Our youth program has three levels of teams called Local, Heat and Fire. These teams are based on skill level and level of commitment to the play the season schedule.
Team Selection and Placement
Each season San Diego Sol will conduct tryouts for its various teams. Each prospective player must come to tryouts prepared and ready to show his/her basketball abilities. Former and current San Diego Sol players are not guaranteed a playing position on any team. Earning a position on a team will be based on upon the following criteria:
- skills and ability
- heart, effort and hustle
- commitment to the team
- work ethic and drive
- coachability and respect
At the club’s discretion, individual players may be moved from one team to another. As any player’s skills and commitment level improve, we may ask the player to move to a higher-level team. These changes in the roster might be necessary to assure the appropriate competitive level for each team and to insure the maximum benefit to each player.
