Montour Boys Youth Basketball travel teams will be selected through the details below. Travel basketball is only for Grades 3 – 6. Travel basketball consists of competitive leagues that compete against, travel to other communities, and play in various leagues and tournaments. Practice for travel teams will begin in November once teams have been selected.
Travel basketball is for the more serious players who wish to play a more competitive brand of basketball. Student-athletes who are selected will be taught the fundamentals of the game, sportsmanship, and team camaraderie. As this is a more competitive brand of basketball, equal playing time will not be guaranteed and solely at the coach's discretion.
Student-athletes will participate within their grade level; this is not determined by age. No exceptions. There may be multiple travel teams per grade level but is dependent upon player interest and skill level.
Travel basketball is both an additional time and a financial commitment. The average travel team will practice two (2) or three (3) times per week and will compete in one (1) or (two) games per week. The cost is generally between $250 - $300 per player. If your child participates in the In-House League, your In-House fee will be deducted from the travel team fee.
Travel Team Selection Process Options:
In-house basketball will provide the greatest opportunity to be selected as a Montour Boys Youth Basketball team member. Through the course of the In-House program, each student-athlete will have an opportunity to learn fundamental skills, concepts and compete against other classmates. At the end of the five (5) in-house sessions, the MBYB Travel coaches will extend invitations to selected players to become a member of the travel teams. Student-athletes are not guaranteed to be offered an invitation.
If your child cannot attend in-house basketball sessions but are interested in being a member of a travel team, please contact MBYB412@gmail.com.
