TCAPS Learning, Enrichment & Athletic Program

About Boys Basketball Elementary Boys Basketball is open to boys in 4th - 5th grade. The season begins the week of Monday, January 6th, 2025 and will run for approximately six weeks. Teams will practice 2 - 3 days a week and will begin competitions after the second week of practices. Teams will be formed at each elementary school that have enough participants registered to field a team and where a volunteer coach is available. Schools that have a high enough enrollment will have separate 4th and 5th grade teams, while schools with lower enrollment will have combined teams. In the event of low enrollment or lack of a volunteer coach, schools may be combined and/or refunds may be given. You will be contacted by the LEAP Office in the event of low enrollment for your school. Season Start & End Dates January 6th, 2025 - February 8th, 2024.
