General Information
* Suburban Basketball is a "travel" team, so participants/parents
should be prepared to commit to a full schedule of
practices/games/tournaments from December through early March.
* There is no cost to try out, BUT if a player
does make the team, there will be a participation fee that will
be based on the costs of uniforms, officials, travel, tournament entry
fees, etc.
* There will be at least one team chosen for
each division (5th/6th & 7th/8th). If there is perceived to be
sufficient interest/talent remaining, a second team ("B" Team) will be
formed.
Important Sign-Up Information
If your child is planning to try out for one of the Suburban
Basketball teams, register them for the recreational league before
the late date anyway – they will then be guaranteed a spot on a
recreational team if they DON’T make the Suburban team. If they DO make
a team, the recreational registration fee can then be applied toward the
Suburban fee. |
