The travel team is an excellent opportunity for those players looking to take their games to the next level. A higher
level of coaching and training is provided, and in return, the coaches will expect to be met with a higher level of effort
and commitment from the players.
Don’t forget our program mission statement: We provide a well-organized and high quality youth sports experience
emphasizing fun, learning, confidence building, and character enhancement within a safe and friendly environment.
It is this mission statement that separates us from the other teams and programs out there.
Parents should know that this is a much higher level of commitment and will be a lot more challenging than the
regular Spring/Summer league and camps, and that if players are truly committed to getting better and elevating
their games, the travel teams are for them.

1. Program Overview
- Foothill Hoops Flyers Travel Team program is a year-round program divided into 4, three month seasons
Player’s participation is based on a season by season basis with returning players receiving priority
consideration for the next season.
- The program is designed for competitive level of play and participation in team practices and intensive
training is expected.
- Players are selected to the teams based on their skill level, commitment to the program, and overall fit with
the program’s goals and philosophies.
- Teams are coached by high school and collegiate level coaches, and Foothill Hoops certified coaches.
2. Practices
- Each team will have 1 team practice per week, usually Sunday afternoons @ Rosemont, FIS, or the AST gym.
- Each player will also attend 1 practice or 1 training session on a weeknight depending on the season
o During the Spring and Summer seasons, players attend practice for their FHB league team
o During the FHB off-seasons, players attend one training session on a weeknight at the AST gym
- Team practices are between 75-90 minutes each, with the first part of practice focused on team training and
the last part of practice usually dedicated to full court scrimmage.
- FHB league team practices last for 60 minutes
- The skills training session once per week will be conducted by AST trainers – team coaches’ attendance is not
required, although some may attend these sessions.
- On weekends with tournaments, Sunday practices will most likely not be held.
- Please see the Schedule Page, or www.foothillhoops.org for specific practice schedules
3. Games / Tournaments
- Teams will typically play in 1 tournament per month, with the other 3 weekends being dedicated to practice.
- (On weekends with a tournament, there is generally no Sunday practice)
- Tournament locations / cities in the past have included (and might be included this season as well):
Pasadena, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, San Fernando Valley, San Bernardino, Orange County
- Tournaments are typically within reasonable driving distance.
- Tournament days are generally on Saturdays – they typically consist of more than 1 game, and sometimes go
into Sunday as well.
- Game times are usually made available a just few days before the tournament day – Foothill Hoops will email
the times as soon as possible, as well as post them on our website as much as possible
(www.foothillhoops.org)
- Tournament fees will be collected for each tournament – this might range from about $10-$30
4. Roster & Playing Time
- Roster size is between 10-12 players per team. For some teams, there may be additional players designated
as ‘alternates’.
- Alternates will practice with the team, and may play in games if needed to fill the spot of an absent player.
- During tournament participation, each player on the team roster and present at the tournament will play a
minimum of 5 minutes per 20 minute half (Playing time rules do not necessarily apply to team scrimmages).
- The coach may invite an alternate to fill a vacant spot and participate in tournament play.
5. Uniforms & Equipment
- Uniforms will be provided by Foothill Hoops at no charge, and must be returned to us if your player will no
longer be playing on the travel team.
- Full uniforms (tucked in) will be worn at all tournaments and friendly games but not necessary for team
practices.
- Each player should bring to team practices and skills training sessions a properly inflated basketball.
6. Communication & Contact
- Communication is critical for the travel team to be successful.
- Basketball is a team sport and the entire team practicing and training together is a crucial part of building the
team’s long-term success.
- Every player should plan to attend every practice, training session, and games.
- If a player is unavailable or otherwise can’t attend a practice, training session, or a game, please
communicate that to the coach as early as possible.
- TEAM MANAGER: Each team requires a Team Manager whose duties include assisting the league with team
administration and facilitating communication between the coach and the parents. He/She will be the liaison
between the coach and the parents, as well as the league and the parents.
- Please talk with your coach to get direct contact information, and to find out which method of contact they
prefer – whether that is through email, txt, phone or through the Team Parent only.
- Questions regarding team practices and AST training should be directed to Coach Mike at:
[email protected].
- For travel season specific questions (including schedules, payments, etc.) please contact Paul Young at:
[email protected].
