Travel Program
Grades 4 - 8
Program Overview
The House Program introduces young athletes to basketball through age-appropriate instruction, skill development, and game play in a fun, encouraging environment.
1st and 2nd Grade players build a strong foundation through four instructor-led player clinics followed by
eight coach-officiated 3-on-3 half-court scrimmages, with no scores or standings kept to emphasize learning, confidence, and enjoyment of the game.
3rd Grade players continue their development with two instructor-led player clinics, two preseason scrimmages, and an 8-game regular season. While game scores are recorded, division standings are not maintained, allowing the focus to remain on player growth, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
Player Clinic Sessions
Player clinics are led by professional trainers and focus on teaching basketball fundamentals, improving individual skills, and building confidence in a fun, supportive environment. Team coaches are encouraged to assist during the clinics, helping reinforce instruction while getting to know their players before the season begins.
Season And Schedule
The Developmental Program runs from mid-November through early-March. Teams practice one evening per week for approximately 60 minutes, with practice nights determined by each coach's availability.
For 1st and 2nd Grade, the season begins with four Saturday clinics before transitioning to Saturday scrimmage games from January through March.
3rd Grade players participate in two Saturday clinics and two preseason scrimmages in December, followed by an 8-game regular season beginning in January and concluding during the first weekend of March.
Practice schedules are typically posted around November 1, with game schedules available around November 15. In the event of inclement weather, occasional weeknight practices, scrimmages, or games may be scheduled.
