Travel Basketball

Many of Hotshots coaches are highly experienced, with many having played at the collegiate or professional level. They are passionate about youth development and have a proven track record of success.

Yes, in addition to skills training, Hotshots has competitive travel teams that participate in local and regional tournaments.

Travel basketball offers numerous benefits, including skill development, increased competition, exposure to college recruiters, and opportunities for personal growth.

While travel basketball is competitive, the focus should always be on player development, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Choose a program that aligns with your child’s goals and values.

The level of travel varies depending on the team and tournament schedule. Some teams may compete primarily within their region, while others may travel nationally. Our teams play seasons, tournaments

Travel basketball is different from Recreational League basketball in that any player has no guaranteed playing time. Practice participation, overall improvement, and effectiveness will determine playing time. Coaches will do their best to get every player in the game, but some players will play more than others. 

Each team has 8-10 players. Teams are arranged by school grade. In cases where we have enough at a grade level to form two teams, there will be a Purple and a Blue team. Players will be placed accordingly at the coaches’ discretion.

Our seasons run in two-month intervals with a guarantee of 8 games, including a playoff weekend leading to a championship game. Our travel program runs throughout the year and participates in consecutive seasons.

Travel Basketball is set up for athletes to have two 90-minute weekly practices and then play two games each weekend (Saturday and Sunday afternoon). In addition, if the team is ready to step up the competition, there are at least three tournaments throughout the year. Making a travel team requires a commitment to this practice and game schedule. 

The cost to participate is $275 for a uniform, travel bag, and warmup hoodie. There is also an additional monthly cost for weekly practices, court reservation fees, and insurance. Additional costs vary per team and depend on season and tournament fees. Costs may vary from year to year.
