Basketball tryouts for the Coney Island Prep's Riptides, were held on October 21, 2013. The tryouts were held in the gym and seventeen students attended.
The tryouts had a myriad of drills and warm ups for the students to partake in. The tryouts started with running laps and dribbling around the gym. Since there weren't enough basketballs to go around, the students alternated between just running and dribbling. Then they warmed up further more with dynamic stretches -butt kicks, alternate skips, clover stretches and grape vines - similar to the ones we do in class. They proceeded to do layups and jump shots to determine who made the basketball team.
