For those with interest, we offer an Elementary Travel program for a more competitive experience for boys and girls. Tryouts will be held prior to the season for these teams early October. Teams will compete in the local Lanco Travel Basketball League. These teams typically practice 2-3 times per week (usually 90 minutes) starting in early November. There will be an additional cost to these teams (above the general initial registration fee) to cover Travel league fees, referees, uniforms and shooting shirt, etc (~$130). More information about tryout dates will come out in the near future. If a player tries out and does not make the travel team they will continue by playing in their grades Rec division.
