  In what community activities is the candidate currently involved? (i.e. Boy Scouts, volunteer initiatives, etc.)
  
  ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
  Does the candidate excel in academics? Has the candidate shown continued growth each year in school? What is the candidate's best subject?
  
  PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
  How has the candidate performed both in regular season play, as well as tournament play? Both offensive and defensive accolades should be noted.
  
  SPORTSMANSHIP
  Does the candidate take a leadership role on the team? Has the player exemplified great sportsmanship towards opposing teams and officials?
