PHUTURE PHANTOMS YOUTH BASKETBALL TRYOUTS
5th GRADE BOYS & GIRLS

Phuture Phantoms Youth Basketball (PPYB) is a non-profit, fee-based, travel basketball program exclusively for kids who live or go to school in the Phoenixville Area School District. The mission is to provide a unified and consistent approach to teaching the fundamentals of the game while allowing young Phoenixville players to compete together against top area talent at their individual grade level. For the winter of 2018, PPYB will field a 5th Grade Boys and 5th Grade Girls team, each of which will compete in the upcoming 2018-2019 season of the Inter-County Basketball Association, the premier area youth travel league made up of teams from all over the greater Philadelphia region.
2 Tryouts for each team to compete this season will be held on the following dates and times at the gym identified. While we prefer that interested players attend both tryouts, it is not a prerequisite to being selected for a team:
5TH Grade GIRLS
October 22 & 24
6-7:30 pm
Manavon Elementary
5TH Grade BOYS
October 22 & 24
7:30-9 pm

There is no fee necessary to try out. Please note, however, that if selected for a team, the fee will be $175.00 to participate. Each team will be able to keep a maximum of 10 players. Practices will be held 2 nights a week from November 7 through Mid-February on Monday and Wednesday Evenings at Manavon Elementary School. Home games may be played on Monday and Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings. Away games will most often occur on weekends and any games during the week will be occur between 6-9 p.m. The ICBA season runs from December 15 through early March (including playoffs and championship weekend).
