TRAVEL TEAM TRYOUTS HAVE CONCLUDED-- Teams Posted Below

For those players that were selected to a travel team.  Congrats to making a travel team.  You should be very proud...but the work is just beginning.  

Finally, REGISTRATION WILL OPEN THIS FRIDAY 10/6/23 at 6pm.  Registration will ONLY be open until Sunday 10/8/23 at 9pm.  If you want to keep your roster spot, you must register during that time frame.  If you try out for two travel teams and make both teams, you must register and pay for both teams.  If there is a true financial hardship, please reach out to the basketball board at [email protected].

Coaches will be in touch with the team in the following week regarding uniform ordering process, practice (which will formally start the first week of November), and required documents to be filled out.  All players need complete an ICBA medical release form and all NEW players to the ICBA league need to provide a copy of your birth certificate.  You must complete forms for each team you make.  If you make two travel teams, you should submit the required forms to each travel coach.

*Southampton Travel teams compete in the ICBA and follow ICBA roster rules, limiting the amount of out of township players on each team.  Out of township members are welcome to tryout, but selection on the team is based upon following those rules and guidelines:  https://www.icbabasketball.com/icba-rules

*Tryouts will be conducted by the teams’ head coach, board members and/or other talent evaluators.

Travel Basketball Philosophy

The Southampton Basketball Travel program is well suited for the players who seek to improve their skill sets while performing in a high level of competition.  Travel programs do just that - they travel to other townships who share in the excitement and challenge of competitive sports. 

In theory, there is a clear demarcation between purely recreational pursuits and competitive sports.   Travel programs are designed to place a greater emphasis on competition and achievement than an intramural (in-house) program.  Travel basketball teams works to attain success through rigorous practice and an increased competition schedule.  Typically, players and teams strive to increase their physical fitness, improve their basketball related skill-sets, and enhance their knowledge of the game while participating in a travel level program.   Competitive sport involves not only contests, but it also tends to advance as a central theme:  consistent progress and level advancement.  Additionally, there are higher expectations regarding both performance and commitment to the sport in the recreational sphere. 

We believe that youth sporting events, at all levels, should be a healthy, fun, and positive aspect of a young person’s life. Participation in sports should impart lifelong values, which are the behavioral foundation of our future generation.  Southampton Basketball takes pride in our players and in turn, we expect they take pride in representing their community and themselves.  Our goal, with the reliance on voluntary coaches,  is to teach strong moral values and outstanding character in both word and by example. We insist that no matter the ability, commitment, or competitive level of our travel teams or individual players,  we embody the philosophy of good sportsmanship.

Player Jersey #s must comply with the following requirement:  DIGITS  0-5 only; the smallest number is 00, and the largest # is 55; we cannot have a 00 and a 0; any other combo of digits 0-5 are permitted (for clarity-- you cannot have a number with 6, 7, 8, or 9 in it).

Coach's will coordinate with their players to work out uniform numbers. The uniform store (Runaround) will advise us of any conflicts in players numbers-- if that occurs, we will reach out to you for a new number.


ALL TRAVEL PLAYERS ARE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE A TEAM UNIFORM and A TEAM PRACTICE PINNIE-- OUR UNIFORM & PINNIE are the SAME this year (2023-2024),  as last year.  Thus, if you are a returning travel player, and your uniform from last year still fits, you can use it again this year.
