History
New Vision Athletics began running a travel basketball program in conjunction with the NVA house league program in 2009.  Players must be enrolled in NVA house basketball in order to participate in NVA Cyclones travel. 

​

There are typically two age level teams.

9U team (kids typically in 3rd grade)

10U team (kids typically in 4th & 5th grade)   

Practices and games are coached by NVA Founder, Kraig Moreland. There are some years where an experienced assistant is also utilized to help depending on group size.

​

​

Time Commitment

In addition to each child’s twice/week NVA house schedule, there is one travel practice a week held on either Tuesday or Thursday at Lake Bluff Elementary School.  Our travel teams compete in one-day basketball events every-other week called “one-day shoot outs”.  Events involve playing 3 games against other travel clubs over a 4 to 5 hour time period. Venues are 30 to 60 minutes away. 

​

Events are typically played on Saturdays  (late afternoons & early evenings) so that our players don’t have conflicts with their NVA house schedule. 

 

Team Size
Each level will consist of  12 to 15 players that practice together weekly as a group.  7 to 9 players are scheduled to play in each game - we do NOT bring the entire group to every game. So there is flexibility and attendance is NOT mandatory for every event.  

 

Cost

$300 practice & administrative fee

$100 uniform fee

$35 /game (debited after each event)
