Mentor Basketball Association Travel Teams
Interested players will be required to attend a tryout session for their respective team. All travel teams will have tryouts in October. Time and location will be announced on this web site at a later date.
Travel teams are intended for the player who is interested in taking their game to a higher level by acquiring advanced basketball training. Players will get exposure in: multiple offensive plays, man to man defenses, press defenses, to name a few, that are not available in the rec league.
Each travel team will practice 1 to 2 times a week in addition to their regular rec team practice.
Players will have the option of playing on both a travel and rec team, or travel team only.
4th, 5th & 6th grade boys and 6th grade girls will participate in a travel league, a ten (10) game schedule with all games being played on Sunday. If players participate in both the travel team and the rec team, they will be playing 2 games on Sunday.
The teams will also participate in 5-7 tournaments that are normally held in December - March.
5th grade girls will participate in 4-6 tournaments from December - March. The team will practice 102 a week with regular scrimmages.
3rd grade boys and 4th grade girls teams will be picked in January 2009, and will participate in 1-2 tournaments in March.
All players selected will be assessed a fee. This fee will cover the cost of the uniform, all travel and tournament games. The fee that is charged does not cover all of the costs. The Mentor Tournament that will be held in March will help defay the total cost. Each parent will be asked to volunteer to assist in this tournament. Players participating in both a travel team and a rec team will need to pay both fees.
