Sun Prairie YMCA
5/2/25 - 6/27/25

NEW FOR 2024 PROGRAM! The Travel Team program is open to existing teams and coaches familiar with the players at their grade level who wish to assemble their own roster. Teams at this level are designed for players who love basketball and crave more practice and game time. A fair amount of travel and time commitment is required as teams will practice twice a week and participate in 6-8 local and regional tournaments. The tournament schedule is set by coaches and the Sun Prairie YMCA Sports Director.

Sun Prairie Y Travel Teams are great options for coaches who want to work together and coach their own kids and for groups of friends/teammates who want to guarantee that they can start or continue playing together. Mandatory coaches meeting TBA.
