Travel Basketball Philosophy

The Southampton Basketball Travel program is well suited for the players who seek to improve their skill sets while performing in a high level of competition.  Travel programs do just that - they travel to other townships who share in the excitement and challenge of competitive sports. 

In theory, there is a clear demarcation between purely recreational pursuits and competitive sports.   Travel programs are designed to place a greater emphasis on competition and achievement than an intramural (in-house) program.  Travel basketball teams work to attain success through rigorous practice and an increased competition schedule.  Typically, players and teams strive to increase their physical fitness, improve their basketball related skill-sets, and enhance their knowledge of the game while participating in a travel level program.   Travel Basketball involves a commitment to consistent progress and advancement through personal development outside our program and commitment to your team’s practices and games.  There are higher expectations regarding both performance and commitment to the sport in the recreational sphere.

PLAYING TIME IS NOT EQUAL and PLAYING TIME IS NOT GUARANTEED.  Our program believes that the best development comes from dedication to developing in practice and taking what you learn there and continuing to develop your skills outside of practice.  Coaches will be able to see through weekly practices who is improving, who is listening, and who has earned game playing time.  Giving the limited number of players on the floor (only 5) and given the specific skills sets needed for specific positions ( example. Exceptional ball handling by a point guard position, height and aggressiveness by a center, offensive creator by a shooting guard) substitutions/rotations can become very limited depending on the game/scenario.  While it should be a rare occurrence for a player to not play in a game at all, it is possible based on a variety of factors that a coach will be contemplating:

Player Development

Skill Improvement

Long-Term Focus

Effort and Attitude

Work Ethic in Practice

Coach-ability and Attitude

Game Context and Competition Level

Game Type

Score and Situation

Player Position and Role

Team Needs

Balanced Rotations

Age and Level of Play

Game Strategy and Matchups

Defensive or Offensive Needs

Player Fitness and Stamina

Endurance

Injury or Fatigue

Disciplin

Adherence to Team Rules

Sportsmanship and Behavior

Player Confidence

Balancing these factors helps coaches distribute playing time in a way that promotes individual and team development while fostering a positive environment.

We believe that youth sporting events, at all levels, should be a healthy, fun, and positive aspect of a young person’s life. Participation in sports should impart lifelong values, which are the behavioral foundation of our future generation.  Southampton Basketball takes pride in our players and in turn, we expect they take pride in representing their community and themselves.  Our goal, with the reliance on voluntary coaches,  is to teach strong moral values and outstanding character in both word and by example. We insist that no matter the ability, commitment, or competitive level of our travel teams or individual players,  we embody the philosophy of good sportsmanship.

For questions regarding your child’s playing time- please review the parent code of conduct and follow the rules of our program for when it is appropriate to speak to the coach.  For any serious issue regarding player safety or wellbeing, do not hesitate to contact our board of directors at [email protected] or call the President of the board, Robert Lynch at 267-240-1672.

UNIFORM INFO:

Player Jersey #s must comply with the following requirement:  DIGITS  0-5 only; the smallest number is 00, and the largest # is 55; we cannot have a 00 and a 0; any other combo of digits 0-5 are permitted (for clarity-- you cannot have a number with 6, 7, 8, or 9 in it).

Coach's will coordinate with their players to work out uniform numbers. The uniform store (Runaround) will advise us of any conflicts in players numbers-- if that occurs, we will reach out to you for a new number.


ALL TRAVEL PLAYERS ARE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE A TEAM UNIFORM and A TEAM PRACTICE PINNIE-- OUR UNIFORM & PINNIE are the SAME this year as we have had  since 2022-2023.  Thus, if you are a returning travel player, and your uniform from last year still fits, you can use it again this year.  So again- you MUST purchase 3 things: 1) Reversible Game Jersey Top, 2) Reversible Game Shorts, 3) Reversible Practice Pinnie. The long-sleeve hooded tee is optional.

Here is the link for the travel basketball uniform and pinnie: https://runaroundinc.tuosystems.com/stores/25skbbuni

***REMINDER-- BEFORE YOU PAY ONLINE- talk to your team Coach to make sure the number selected is proper and/or not already taken!

UNIFORM STORE CLOSES ON (9/30/25 at 11:59pm) --- please order your uniform promptly after speaking with your team coach since there is a four week turnaround on the uniforms and in order for them to arrive on time for the first tournament/game we need to order asap.

There is also a long sleeve hooded tee that is available for purchase- players typically wear these during game warmups and while on the bench; they are not required, but may be purchased.
