Mission Statement:

The mission of the Southern Basketball Academy Travel Team is to foster growth and passion for the game of basketball by providing an opportunity for youths to improve their skills and self-confidence through instructions. The Southern Basketball Academy
Travel Team's mission is also to create an environment where young boys and girls learn the meaning of discipline, morals, respect, dedication, setting goals, and developing a character that will carry them throughout their lifetime. We also will blend individuals into a team with the opportunity to improve on fundamentals, position skill set, and increase knowledge of the game, while attempting to optimize both personal and team potential. A particularly important part of our mission is to prepare each team member to use their talents to achieve scholarships so that they may attain higher education.

"WORK HARD NO EXCUSES"
 
Our team objectives include:

Each player will receive a uniform. Uniforms will include jerseys and shorts. A ‘ONE TIME’ fee, is required to provide the player with a uniform for this season and all subsequent seasons with the club. These uniforms belong TO THE CLUB and will be returned at the end of each season.

 

Please be mindful that additional expenses will occur throughout the season due to out-of-town tournaments that require traveling expenses. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A TEAM SPORT THAT YOU AND YOUR CHILD ARE COMMITTED TO. Players will have to be accompanied by their parents or an adult within their family during out-of-town trips. It is up to the parent to make sure that their child is watched by their chaperoned person. The coaches are not responsible for the player being supervised within the hotel or for other activities. The coaches are responsible for coaching and supervising during the games only. Transportation is up to the family. Players can typically ride with another individual or family member, but it is up to the parent to make those arrangements. Meals would be his/her responsibility. If a player travels with another parent, the parent will have to fill out a release form that states her child has permission to ride with the individual. Each tournament we will eat together as a family at least 1 time throughout the tournament.
