Metrowest games are on Sundays and travel teams usually practice twice a week. The season runs from October to March. All players on travel teams in Grades 4 through 6 are required to also play Recreation Basketball. The cost to participate on a travel team is $225 per player with a maximum of $500 per family.

¨ Creating additional travel teams as reasonable and warranted

¨ Scheduling out of town scrimmages as reasonable and time permits
¨ Providing the opportunity for coaches and players to participate in meaningful coaching and player clinics
¨ Keeping roster sizes reasonable and manageable
¨ Ensuring each player participates in each half of each game
