The Travel Basketball season runs end-October through mid-March with 2 practices per week plus 2 games every weekend. Games are played against towns in the greater Hartford area.
Players are expected to be at every game and practice. If you cannot make basketball your priority for this duration, we STRONGLY recommend that you play in the Newington Parks and Recreation Program or another program instead of our Travel program. In the P&R programs there are no tryouts and all kids are eligible play. Contact Newington P&R for details.
*** League rules state (with no exceptions) that Newington Players must live in Newington ***
