The Academy Travel program is the place to be if you are looking for a high level of competition and a more dedicated commitment to a team dynamic. There is a tryout process in November, and each team will have 10-12 athletes. There will be travel teams for GIRLS grades 4th-6th. (12 and Under Division: Players who were born on or after July 1, 2013)

The Travel season will run from December to May, and the team will attend tournaments in NY, PA, and OH throughout the year. There are typically 1-2 tournaments per month. The Travel teams will practice for 1.5 hours, twice per week.

Tryout/Evaluation days are FUN days in the gym where our athletes will be learning new skills, executing drills, and getting a chance at game play. Coaches will take this time to evaluate players for team selection. Current skill level will be evaluated, as well as effort and coachability.

The week after tryouts, all athletes will be notified if they make a team. The girls teams will not be split into Navy and Red until additional December practices take place. White team will be determined after tryouts. Any player that does not make the travel roster will have the opportunity to register for a House team prior to the registration going live to the general public.

Team fees are listed below. If you are selected to be a member of a travel team, the first payment of 50% will be due with team acceptance in November. Additional 25% payments will be due by January 1st and February 1st 2025. Families will be invoiced from Sports Engine.
