Program Overview
Lakeville North Boys Traveling
Basketball adheres to the philosophy that players having more
advanced skills should be given the opportunity to enhance
their abilities under the best conditions possible. We believe
that the best conditions exist when a more challenging and
therefore more competitive environment is created. We believe
that competition against players of equal ability is healthy
for the boys physically and mentally and that the boys will
grow as they strive to overcome these greater challenges. Our
goal is twofold:
-
Development of a positive self-esteem.
That each boy feels good about themselves and can be proud
of the effort they've given.
-
Development of well-balanced mental
strength. That each person has a positive mental approach in
handling the rewards of success, as well as the correct
mental approach and strength to handle the emotional
feelings associated with a setback.
Boys Traveling Basketball serves grades
4th through 9th, with 8 - 10 players per team. The Lakeville
North Boys Basketball Association Traveling Teams will play in
7 to 10 weekend tournaments. The season runs from mid-October
to mid-March. All 4th through 8th Grade teams will practice 2
to 3 times a week in the evening and the 9th Grade teams will
practice Monday through Friday after school.
Tournaments can range from a trip to a
nearby community, to an out-of-town trip, staying overnight.
The Traveling Director will set up all tournament schedules.
Parents are required to help out with the traveling program in
one capacity or another.
We want the Boys to develop the habit
of thinking as a winner ("I can", "Never give up", etc.) and
working hard to win. In the end, we want them to handle
winning graciously, and to accept losing with strength.
