Registration Listing

2025 LWAA Elite Basketball (Tryout Based Teams)

Cost:

Current program cost is estimated to be $550. This fee will change some based on total amount of kids that make the team, but shouldn't vary significantly.

If cost for this program is an issue, please reach out to discuss payment options.

We organize a free-throw fundraiser to help offset costs.

Concept:

The LWAA Elite Basketball Program is a competitive basketball program that involves travel for tournaments around the Charlotte Region. The goal of the program is to develop the players but to also have an emphasis on winning and growing as a team. Playing time is not guaranteed for any player, but our coaching staff does their best to get all players involved.

Tryouts:

Not every child that signs up will make the team. Returning players are not guaranteed a spot on the team. You will be notified after tryouts if you make the team.

Tryouts will be held in early February. You will receive more information the last week of January about the tryouts.

We reserve the right not to offer a team for each grade if we don’t feel it will be competitive.

Practice:

Each team will plan to practice at least 1.5 hours per week and play in 10 tournaments (30-35 games).

Practices will start in mid-February. Your team will normally have a consistent practice schedule and you will be made aware of the schedule prior to accepting your spot if you make the team.

If you can’t commit to attending 2/3 of practices then this program isn’t a fit for you.

Additional Costs:

Please note that the uniform cost and spectator attendance is not covered in the fee.

Basic uniform package includes two jerseys, two shorts for approximately $135.

The upgraded player package also has a shooter shirt and backpack for approximately $175.

A reversible jersey/short package can also be ordered for approximately $75 for a more affordable option, but they are heavier and some of the smaller players may not like.

Spectator fees can be up to $30 per adult per weekend depending on the tournament.

Age/Grade Verification:

Please be prepared to upload a copy of current report card and birth certificate so we can ensure they are placed on the correct team as some tournaments have guidelines for both.
