TRAVEL PROGRAM TRYOUTS AND INFORMATION 2013-2014 SEASON
- Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Travel Basketball:
- Where do we travel? Most travel occurs to other schools in Broome County; however, depending upon the schedule, some teams may travel to Chenango County (Norwich), Tioga County (Owego, Waverly), and possibly the Athens/Sayre area of Pennsylvania.
- When are games? Games and practices are held on various days of the week and Saturdays, depending upon gym availability for the Johnson City Hoops basketball program, as well as availability of gym time for other area teams.
- Where are practices and games? Most practices and home games will be held at either the Elementary or Middle school.
- Can your son/daughter play in muni-league (or other leagues) and the travel program? Not all players who try-out for the travel program will make the team. Therefore, we HIGHLY recommend all kids sign up for the village of JC muni-league program, regardless of whether or not they intend to try-out for travel teams. This way, if they do not make a travel team they still have a place to play basketball.
-
- If your child makes a travel team, they will still be allowed to play muni-league or any other league (e.g. CYO, church-based, YMCA etc.). However, it is expected that the travel program will be the first "basketball priority" for the child and all other basketball programs will be secondary to both travel games AND practices. Violation of this rule may result in removal from the travel team without refund.
- How many teams are there? The numbers of teams to be sponsored are determined on a yearly basis, dependant upon several factors including: funding available; the number of interested candidates; the number of qualified candidates that will allow competitive teams to be formed; and gym availability. Our target for 2013-2014 is two boys teams and two girls teams, which will likely be comprised of a mixture of grades, such as 4th/5th, 5th/6th, etc. However, the actual number of teams and the placement of players by grade are determined annually by Johnson City Hoops program coaches, based on the best information we have available at the time.
- Who attends tryouts? All candidates must attend tryouts - INCLUDING RETURNING PLAYERS. There are no guaranteed spots on the teams for any players, including returning players. Any 4th through 6th grade boy or girl interested in trying out for the team is welcome (open tryout). Select 3rd graders MAY be invited to tryouts; however, try-outs are not open to 3rd graders, they are by invite only. Parents MUST accompany their child to the first tryout date. Players must have their own insurance for tryouts and open gyms.
- What is the cost? Tryouts and open gyms are free. If selected to a team, there will be a cost associated with play. The cost for the 2013-2014 season has been set at $100 per player. Cost includes a full, reversable (home/away) uniform, all required insurance and 20+ games which may or may not include some tournaments. Please understand that the cost guarantees that the player will be afforded the opportunity to practice with travel teams and attend games. There is no guaranteed amount of playing time. This is a competetive team.
- What if I can't afford the cost? We make it easy to PLAY FOR FREE! All that is required on the part of players or parents is a little initiative! Players MUST pay up front. Once paid, players will be given 20 raffle tickets that are sold for $5 each (the winner can win up to $300). Players will KEEP all of the money from the tickets they sell! So, if you sell 10 tickets, you cut your cost of travel basketball in half. If you sell them all, you play for free! The Travel Basketball program is sponsored by the Johnson City Hoops AAU Basketball Club, a non-profit organization that obtains all funds through fundraising. As such, we must charge a fee to cover the costs of the travel program. We are a small program with a small budget. We simply cannot afford to pay for players who do not do something to assist financially.
- How many players are on each team? The number of players per team is determined on an annual basis, based on player assessments.
