Additional grade-level tryout times will be announced. Check back or follow @mvebasketball for updates.
Teams practice at least once per week. Exact days and times are set after teams are selected, to best fit athletes and facility availability.
Possible locations: Herkimer College, Borza Recreation Center, Elevate CNY.
Each team (grades 5–9) is coached by a current or former college player, or a current college coach.
Coaches are assigned to one team only, so athletes receive their full attention.
Each team competes in six tournaments throughout the spring — consistent game experience in a competitive setting.
Not all teams play the same schedule, but all are guaranteed 6 tournaments.
We are currently determining which grade level each coach will lead; final assignments will be announced soon. Each coach is a current or former college player or coach, with the exception of a few who are current high school coaches.
The full fee is applied toward tournament entry fees, practice facility costs, and coaching expenses. None of the fee is retained by the directors — we operate as a not-for-profit organization.
Between 8 and 10 players per team to ensure maximum development for each athlete. No more than 10.
Generally three local tournaments, two nearby (e.g., Albany or Syracuse), and one longer-distance or overnight tournament. For example, last season all teams traveled to Spooky Nook in Pennsylvania — one of the largest indoor sports complexes in the country.
No. We have received more interest than ever for this upcoming season. If you'd like to play for us, please make sure you show up to your designated tryout session.
