Our teams practice, year round, two times a week, every Monday and Wednesday at Weston Regional Basketball courts. Practices run for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Teams work on player conditioning, offensive and defensive and individual skills.
Our basketball teams play in seasonal basketball leagues year round. Each season typically runs for two months, culminating in end of season basketball playoffs and basketball championship. All of our basketball games are scheduled for Saturdays and Sundays.
In addition, if we feel the team is ready, our basketball teams also participate in Basketball Travel Team Tournaments and/or AAU Basketball Tournaments throughout the Miami-dade and Broward County area. Our Basketball teams get to test their skills and match up against the best in our area. This additional commitment usually has us playing games throughout the weekend of the Tournament.
This covers our year round practice schedule, two times a week, insurance and basketball court reservations.
There is a one time payment for team basketball home and away uniform, travel bag and warm up pullover.
Additional cost for seasons and tournaments vary. Season fees are every two months. Number of Tournaments will vary by team.
The travel program offers an opportunity for a player to receive additional practice, coaching, and gameplay outside a basketball recreation program. This program is designed to accelerate a player's basketball fundamentals and expose players to higher competition. A player must try out to make a travel team, and based on the number of players selected, typically, there will be an "A" and a "B" squad.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
