About the Organization

Mission:
The immediate goal of the Loudoun Freedom is to provide girls in Loudoun County an opportunity to develop their skills and their understanding of the game of basketball in a competitive environment. The ultimate mission is to build an organization of personalities who are not just good athletes but who understand the importance of effort, teamwork, selflessness, and community.

Eligibility Requirements:
The Loudoun Freedom eligibility requirements adhere to Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) rules which dictate that girls play on teams defined by their age as of January 1 of a calendar year. Age Calculator.

Team Composition:
The composition of all Loudoun Freedom teams is formed on the basis of competitive tryouts. Any future alterations to team memberships must be based on either group or individual tryouts.

The teams formed under the umbrella of the Loudoun Freedom are not affiliated with any particular middle school; all eligible players are welcome to tryout.

Players must represent the values of the organization and must retain good academic standing. Coaches shall consult with parents to ensure that participation with the Loudoun Freedom does not jeopardize a member's academic performance. All parents, coaches, and volunteers must represent the values of the organization as well.

Seasonal Operation:
Teams are free to operate throughout the year and frequently do so, given practice gym space. Teams are always subject to turnover at the beginning of each season. Natural attrition may occur as players leave to pursue other interests; however, tryouts must be held by teams under the Freedom banner to begin each season of operation. Players will be required to continually earn their spots on the teams.

Team Fees and Funding:
The organization is a not-for-profit endeavor. Thus, all team costs are borne by the team membership and put back into the team. Fees will be itemized and collected after the composition of the team is determined each season.

Fees for members vary season and typically covers such items as uniforms, gym space, league or tournament registration, and administrative items that cover the cost of operating the organization. Optional items like spiritwear are available. For more specific itemization of season costs, please contact Michael Turner directly.

Fees are reduced for players who have purchased and can use uniforms and warm-ups from prior seasons.

Where possible, the team will seek to defray membership costs either through fund-raising or by seeking sponsorships.

The Loudoun Freedom is a 501c(3) tax-exempt, non-profit organization affiliated with the Amateur Athletic Association (AAU).


Tryouts
Tryout will be held Feb. 19 and Feb. 25/26, 2012.
