Winter Season 2025-26
Belle Plaine Travel Basketball is a competitive basketball program dedicated to skill development and team play. Our season runs from November through February/March, offering players a structured environment to grow and compete. Participants will have the opportunity to refine their skills and take part in several tournaments throughout the season. We emphasize learning the game, working as a team, and striving for excellence on and off the court.
Ages
3rd grade through 8th grade for both boys and girls.
When
The season starts in early November and will go until the end of February- mid March depending on the age of the team. There are some variations with the junior high age groups due to their junior high season.
Where
Practices are typically held either at Oakcrest or the Belle Plaine High School Gyms.
Practices
Typically, 2 practices a week for 4-6th grade (slightly less for 3rd grade). 7th/8th grade will not have practices during their junior high school ball season.
Games
Tournament schedules will vary based on age and skill level of the team. This is both at the coach's discretion as well as the board's. Typically, teams will compete in the either the same number or one less than their grade level. For example, 6th grade would complete in 5-6 tournaments in a season. 4th grade 3-4 tournaments in a season. Most tournaments are one day however there are some that are 2 day. Tournaments are local and/or metro based.
