GCAA Announces Registration and Tryouts for the 2023-2024 Travel Basketball Season

GCAA will be hosting tryouts for Travel Basketball beginning September 18th. All travel teams will play in the Island Garden Super League, which includes a 15 game schedule for boys and a 12 game schedule for girls (plus playoffs) starting in late November 2023 and running thru March 2024.  Teams will practice 1-2 times per week. GCAA aims to create two or three teams per grade subject to adequate demand and available coaching.

Players must register and pay prior to tryouts using the link (https://registration.teamsnap.com/form/1277).  Payment will be reimbursed in the case that your child does not make a team.  Please note there is an additional charge of $50 for all players that require a new uniform.       

In addition to travel team games and practices, participation in the GCAA weekend Intramural program is mandatory for boys 6th grade and under, and girls 5th grade and under.  Boys 7th and above are strongly encouraged to participate, though it is not required.  Parents need to register separately for Intramurals once Intramural registration opens in late September.  GCAA Travel Basketball does its best to work around additional Middle School/CYO conflicts during the basketball season, and ensures that there are no scheduling conflicts between travel/intramural games. 

 

The dates and times of the tryouts are as follows:

3rd Grade Boys - Tuesday, September 26th from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at St Paul’s

4th Grade Boys - Monday, September 18th from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at St Paul's
