In an effort to ease the transition into the traveling program, Eagan Basketball is proud to offer a new program for our 3rd graders who are looking for a competitive option to help the transition to travel ball in 4th grade.

The new 3rd Grade Taste of Travel program will run from January to March 2019.  The program is in addition to regular in-house season and requires a separate registration.  The cost of the program is $165, and registration will run throughout the month of November 2018.

The fee includes:

• 1-2, 60-90-minute practices per week
• 3 sessions at the Minnesota School of Basketball
• 3 travel tournaments spread throughout January, February, and early March.

This is a highly competitive program, reserved for those players who are serious about continuing to play competitively in future years. There will be a 1-hour evaluation practice to form equal teams and to make sure this is a good fit in mid-late December. If you are unsure if your child would be a good fit for this program, please plan to have a discussion with your coach prior to registering.
