• Less expensive
• Less time (2 month season versus 5 month season in traveling)
• Less competitive
• May be better for a beginner player or one playing other sports during the winter
• May be a good trial to see if the player likes it before committing to traveling
• Less driving/commuting as everything is in Blaine, Coon Rapids, or Anoka schools

If your daughter enjoyed the in-house season and wants to keep playing, consider our travel lite program! This program is for in-house players that want to extend their basketball season and get a feel for the traveling experience. Here are the highlights of the program:

• There are typically 2 teams - one in 3rd and one in 4th
• Coaches pick a couple of interested players from each in-house team to form travel lite teams.
• One practice per week
• Teams play in 2-3 tournaments - the Blaine tournament being one of them.
