2001-2002 Elk River Boys Youth Basketball Information (763) 856-5192 (Hofline information) The Elk River Boys Youth Basketball program has two leagues.., a House league for grades 1 through 9 and a Travel league for grades 5 through 9. For "House teams", players compete against equally skilled teams within the Elk River school district. There are over 100 House teams within the 1st through 9th grade. Players are separated, by grade. There are four grade levels in the House League: 1st & 2nd, 3rd and 4th, 5th and 6th, and 7th through 9th grade. All House players play equal time regardless of ability. Teams in grade groups from 3rd through 9th play for team trophies. For grades 5 through 9 there is also the option of playing on a "Travel" team. Travel teams play other travel teams representing communities throughout Minnesota. Since this league is at an elevated level of competition, interested players are required to attend a tryout where their basketball skills, desire and ability to attend practices and games are evaluated. With the development of new senior highs within the Elk River School District, we have expanded the opportunities for boys that will be attending these new schools. For grade 5 and 6 there are three "B" level teams that are community based (Elk River, Zimmerman and Rogers) and one District wide "A" level team. For grades 7,8 and 9 there is one "A" travel team and two "B" travel teams for each grade level. A travel player would expect to play approximately 10 tournaments per year (which are usually played on Fdday evenings, Saturday and/or Sunday). Travel team practices and tournaments take a major commitment from both the player and the parent.
