Howlers Travel Basketball
2023-2024
John Jay Travel Youth Basketball Program is a competitive basketball program sponsored by Lewisboro Parks & Rec. We are dedicated to providing a positive atmosphere for athletes to develop their skills individually, as well as learning team basketball concepts.
All teams will be formed through tryouts. Teams will play in the Tri-County Basketball League (TCBL). TCBL games are played in school gyms around the area.
The TCBL is a competitive league and provides the opportunity to challenge our athletes against quality programs from neighboring towns. Rosters will be tight to allow coaches the opportunity to manage playing time to field a competitive team. Playing time will be "fair, but not equal" with the goal being to put every player in a competitively appropriate situation which affords the team the best chance to win.
Howlers players are also required to participate in the Lewisboro Recreation Basketball program. Participation is not just registering, but attending all practices and games. Recreation basketball is a 2 hour per week commitment, at most. The Recreation league is based on skill development and team building to offer all levels of players the opportunity to play equally in a fun environment. Travel players are required to participate in order to further their development working on skills, sharing the basketball, and helping all the players in our programs improve.
