Tournament Team Information
Each age group will have the opportunity to field a Tournament Team. Any child registered for Outing Club Basketball will have the opportunity to try out for their age-appropriate Tournament Teams.
You must pre-register for try-outs Click Here to Register.
Try-Out Schedules are as follows:
-
1/5: Boys 3/4th Grade, 11a-1pm.

-

Tournament Teams will practice once a week on Sundays, in addition to their team practice, and will play a minimum of 2 tournaments, and potentially a few scrimmages when possible.
Tournament Teams will be participating in competitive tournaments and playing time for members of the teams may not be equal. The emphasis will be on strategy and sportsmanship while trying to win each game that is played.
There will be an additional cost for an athlete to join this program, as the tournaments in which our teams participate have fees associated with entering.
Registering for Tryouts is free, though it does not guarantee a spot on a tournament team.
If selected to a Tournament Team, the fees will be:
Member: $100
Non-Member: $150

The Outing Club is, unfortunately, unable to control/determine Registration Deadlines. It is our goal to allow every child the opportunity to play basketball regardless of when they register. However, due to league commitments, we need to have rosters, a number of teams and coaches set by a certain deadline. Please be sure to get your child registered ASAP and before the deadline to ensure their spot.
For those who miss the deadline and would still like to sign up, there will be a waitlist. Children on the waitlist will be added to teams in the event that another child drops out or a team is in need of more players. This decision is to be made at the discretion of the Director and coaches affected.
League Information
Grade levels - 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 will play again in the Merrimack Basketball League. This decision was made after much thought and research. This particular league supplies our athletes and parents with the following:
1: It fits our philosophy at the Outing Club, creating opportunities for success in learning skills through play, within a rewarding and positive environment
2: It is cost-effective for families
3. The 15 towns in the league are within an hour driving range and most are the same towns involved in the Merrimack Valley Soccer League and Baseball Leagues most kids are already involved in...great competition in a variety of towns close to home.
