NCC Travel League 2025-2026 Competitive Basketball

 

Girls and Boys in grades  5-8 have the opportunity to participate in a competitive basketball league with surrounding towns in Connecticut during the season. Travel teams for every grade level are not guaranteed. If there is not enough interest at a  specific age level,  participants will be placed on the appropriate recreational level team for the season.

Joining the Travel basketball team takes much more commitment and dedication throughout the season. If you cannot guarantee your commitment and dedication you will be asked to join the recreation level teams instead. To join the Travel League Team your participation will be mandatory in tryouts prior to the season starting, if you are not at tryouts you will automatically be placed on a  recreation team. We ask you to understand that not everyone is able to join the Travel teams and there are cuts that are made after tryouts. If you do not make the Travel League Team, you will be placed on the appropriate recreational level team.
