The Season

01

02

Summer

Live period events, exposure tournaments and skill blocks.

03

Fall

Pre-season training and school-season preparation.

04

Tryouts

Bethesda Buckets and Buckets Elite hold open tryouts each spring, with limited mid-season openings when roster spots become available. Tryouts are evaluated on skill, effort, coachability and how a player fits the group — not just on who scores the most.

Players who aren't placed on a team are always given a recommended development path so they can come back stronger next season.
