*If you do not qualify for the Tour of Texas or Texas Championship Series, the Finals will be replaced at that time with another tournament. Contrary to previous seasons, this year the Tour consists of 3 events for the 12/13’s age groups BUT only 2 events for the 14-18 age groups.

*It is recommended that, whether or not this team does qualify for the Tour of Texas, this team adds AT LEAST one tournament to your existing schedule. It will better suit the preparation of the team during the gap of time between tournaments in February/March. Having that much time off can have an adverse impact on the success of the team. Please understand, the team tuition and fees schedule only includes a MAX of 8-9 tournaments, therefore we recommend MORE tournaments to be added, but at a minimal additional cost to each family on the team.
*The tournaments chosen that are listed above for the final tournament schedule were based on the tuition and fees and what type of tournaments were originally included and promised to our players and parents for this team. We also take into account situational factors such as number of tournaments promised, number of travel tournaments promised, budgeted tournament entry fees, budgeted travel costs, where in the schedule certain tournaments lie to avoid playing 3-4 weekends in a row and/or avoid not playing for 8 weeks. We recognize there may be some other tournaments of interest for this team to attend, and are more than willing to entertain ALL ideas of adding tournaments to this particular tournament schedule.
The Caribbean Championships have been added to the schedule at no additional charge to the team. It is not a qualifier BUT is a large recruiting showcase with over 100 schools already committed to attend as of 10/1/2021.

If you qualify for Junior Nationals, there will be an additional fee of $750 per person (Due May 15th) to cover tournament expenses, coach per diem/travel, practice and gym rental and coach fees for additional month (the same fee applies if the team decides to attend the AAU National Championships in Orlando if the team DOES NOT qualify for Junior Nationals):
