Common questions about Forest Lake Hoops Club

If you haven't played traveling basketball before, we're guessing you have some questions about the season. We hope this list helps!

My kid is just now becoming interested in basketball. Do they need to be at a certain skill level to play traveling ball?
No! We encourage all skill levels to try out. Hoops Club is a great way for kids to develop their skills, have fun, and really grow in the sport.

What's the commitment for practices?
Teams practice two to three times per week at area schools (mainly Forest Lake High School and Middle School). We try to schedule earlier practices for the younger kids whenever possible. The latest practice time is 7:30-9 p.m. (again, we try to reserve these later times for seventh and eighth graders).

How far do you travel for tournaments?
Teams typically have one out of town tournament determined by their coach (popular spots include Brainerd, Rochester, Duluth, St. Cloud). The remainder of tournaments are in the Twin Cities metro.

How many tournaments are there?
Third and fourth graders have eight tournaments total; fifth through eighth grade have 10. Several tournaments are one-day only.

How long is the season?
Tryouts are in September. The season runs from mid-October through mid-March.

How much does it cost to register for the season?
Season registration is $380 for third/fourth grade and $420 for fifth through eighth. Payment plans are available.

Will I have to pay to get into tournaments?
Many tournaments are moving away from admission. The few that still charge at the door collect anywhere from $8-10/person.

Do I have to volunteer a lot?
Parents are required to fulfill one "dibs" spot per child in our local Freeze basketball tournament, held the third weekend in January.

When are tryouts?
Tryouts for the upcoming season are Sept. 11 and 12 for girls and Sept. 13 and 14 for boys.

What if I have additional questions?
Contact Neil Cooper, Hoops Club president, or Rachael Rose, VP, at neil@flhoopsclub.org or rachael@flhoopsclub.org.

Hoops Club teams become like family. We hope you'll join us!
