About Our Elite Program
The Elite Division at Tri City Vipers Basketball is suited to advanced-level players who wish to further develop their basketball skills in a more competitive atmosphere and are willing to commit to more practice time and a higher level of competition.
If your son or daughter is new to basketball, the Elite tryouts are usually not the best place for them to start their basketball experience. While the emphasis will still be on fun, friendship and sportsmanship, there will be a greater focus on competition and expectations of commitment will be higher for players. While we encourage all young players to be multi-sport athletes and will NOT ask anyone to quit another sport to focus solely on basketball, the Elite Division does expect a commitment to the entire season and a willingness to make all practices and games.
The number of teams participating at each age/gender level will be determined after tryouts and player assessments are complete. The number of teams will be determined by the total number of players who are assessed as being Elite level athletes.
Elite Season & Commitment
The Elite season will begin the week of April 7 and end the week of August 23, pending tournament participation details.
U11 and U12 players practice 2 x 1.5 hours per week, along with weekend games and tournaments (tournaments to be finalized with coach).
U14 to U19 players practice 2 x 2 hours per week, along with weekend games and tournaments (tournaments to be finalized with coach).
