We're looking at the complete player and the things that translate to winning basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">IMPACT</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>How do you affect the game when the ball isn't in your hands? We're watching for players who make winning plays, create opportunities for teammates, defend, rebound, communicate, and find ways to contribute throughout the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">DECISION MAKING</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The ability to make the right decision under pressure matters. Can you attack when there's an opening? Make the extra pass? Take care of the ball? Recognize what the defense is giving you? We're looking for players who understand how to make the game easier for themselves and their teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">COMPETITIVENESS</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We want to see how badly you want to win. Compete for every possession. Run the floor. Fight for rebounds. Defend. Dive on the floor. Respond when things don't go your way. Your effort and body language can tell us just as much as your stat line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">VERSATILITY</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The best players can impact a game in different ways. Can you handle the ball, create for others, defend multiple positions, rebound outside your area, or knock down shots when your team needs them? Show us everything you can bring to the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">COMMUNICATION</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Use your voice. Talk on defense. Communicate with teammates. Be engaged in the huddle. Help organize your team. Communication shows awareness, confidence, leadership, and an understanding of what winning basketball looks like.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">WHAT MAKES THIS SHOWCASE DIFFERENT?</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At <strong>Prep Girls Hoops</strong>, we don't just watch the showcase.
