SFBB will provide both in-house/rec and travel basketball opportunities during the 2022-2023 winter boys basketball season. In-house/rec registration will open in late September. Stay tuned for more information on in-house/rec registration.   

The travel basketball program provides players who have more advanced skills and abilities the opportunity to participate in a competitive league environment. It is for boys who reside in South Fayette Township and are in grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.  Boys must play at their 2022-2023 grade level, and no player younger than 3rd grade may try out for a team.  Boys must attend tryouts to be considered for a travel team. Not all boys will be selected to play on a team.  

Travel basketball requires a serious commitment from the player and his family. The expectation for all players is that travel basketball will be the player's primary sport during the season (roughly November through March). Travel players can participate in games and/or practices approximately 3 to 4 days per week. Travel games are typically in the South Hills area, but some leagues and tournaments will require further travel.  

Registration: Registration for travel basketball is available at www.sfboysbasketball.com.  You MUST register on the website to try out for grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.  No walk-in tryouts are allowed. 

Deadline:  Registration ends September 6th.  Do NOT wait to register.  Late registrations will be subject to an additional charge. We cannot guarantee that late registration requests will be honored, and no such requests will be accepted once tryouts have begun. 

Tryouts: Tryouts will likely be held over two sessions and are mandatory. We are finalizing tryout locations and times, but are targeting mid-to late-September.  As soon as we determine a time and location, we will advise.

 

Cost: There is NO cost for trying out.  If selected for a team, the cost will be $250 per player, which will be requested at the time of your acceptance of the position. This fee will provide each player with a minimum of one practice per week, a league to play games and a uniform. Tournaments and/or additional league play will be at the discretion of each team and coach to decide and will be an additional cost.

Coaches:  To be considered as a head or assistant coach, please register when prompted during the player registration process. All head and assistant coaches must upload their clearances to the website before September 6th to be considered for the position. You are strongly encouraged to upload them when completing the registration.

Special Note on 3rd Grade Travel: This is the first year SFBB is sponsoring 3rd grade travel.  A travel team(s) will be selected if there are enough “travel ready” players. Due to already limited gym time for our entire boys travel program, practice times for any 3rd grade travel team may be limited to once a week and only to the weekends.
