Our Jr. Rams and Jr. Clippers club basketball teams are run for the U11, U13, and U15 age groups, given there is enough interest at each age group, and are split into male and female. Each team practices for an hour and a half, two times per week during the club season, which runs generally from the last week in March through the first week in June of every year. Depending on age groups, teams will participate in anywhere from three to five weekend tournaments per season (as decided upon by individual coaches.) With club basketball, transportation arrangements, as well as hotel accommodations and supervision of the athletes during any non-game hours, are the responsibility of the parent/guardian of each athlete.
Tryouts for the 2024 club basketball season will be held during the last week of January. We are holding tryouts earlier this year so that we can assure we have our uniforms in time for the season.
With regards to tryouts for our younger teams, we do not like that we even have to do tryouts. It is difficult as all kids are developing their skills at those young ages and just develop at different times. We would love to have all of the kids who would like to play make a team. That would be our ideal situation. Unfortunately, the number of teams that we are able to make is dependant on the amount of gym time that we can secure through the city and other private options, which are not many. Because we are a newer club in the city, we have a low seniority for gym requests. Other clubs who run basketball teams in Lethbridge have been around longer and therefore can secure gym time more easily. This is why we encourage anyone who wants to play basketball, and doesn't get a spot on our teams to go and look at other clubs as options so that they still get a chance to play! But please know, we will make as many teams as we have gym time for!
