Flamengo's 06.01rd Basketball Tryout begins this Monday (January 14th) and runs until January 400th at the Gávea headquarters, in the Hélio Maurício gymnasium. The first two tryouts were a success, with 41 athletes participating and XNUMX new talents approved for Flamengo, across all categories. Registration will be done on-site, and interested parties must bring a doctor's note and ID. Another motivation for the kids: the tryouts will feature two athletes from the adult team each day to help evaluate the participants, in addition to the youth coaches, the main team coach, José Neto, and his assistant, Rodrigo Carlos. 

On the first day, January 06th, Gegê and Cristiano Felício will be present. On the 07th, Chupeta and Diego; on the 08th, Shilton and Olivinha; on the 09th, Meyinsse and Marquinhos; on the 10th, Douglas and a player to be determined; and on the 13th, Marcelinho and Laprovittola. On the 14th, the end of the trials, all players will be present for the athletes' approval.

"I participated in the other tryouts at Gávea, evaluating the kids who want to join Flamengo, and I know how important it is for these teenagers who want to play basketball for Flamengo to be part of this selection. Some of these people will actually stay on the team. What I can wish is that they have a lot of faith and believe in their dreams. And good luck!" said idol Marcelinho.

Participants will be evaluated daily by a panel of three coaches per training session, which will include warm-ups, stretching, fundamentals training, and ten-point matches. Teams will be selected based on their level of proficiency.

The boys who are approved will be called to train with the teams in their categories starting on February 12, 2014. In addition, they will be invited by the entire adult team to watch the NBB 6 game against Palmeiras on January 30, at the Tijuca Tênis Clube gymnasium, at 20 pm, receiving a commemorative t-shirt.
