GREATER LATROBE JR. PRO BASKETBALL
IN-HOUSE LEAGUE
Junior pro’s in-house league is a Saturday and Sunday program that is broken down into three age
groups; Youth (grades 2 & 3), Intermediate (grades 4 & 5), and Senior (grades 6 through 8). The focus
at each level is different, but the general structure of the groups is the same. Each year the children
are brought together over the initial two to three weekends for group practices where fundamental
skills are introduced and where each child’s skill level is evaluated. Teams are then selected by the
group coordinator and coaches with the goal of creating competitively balanced teams. From that
point forward, teams come together each weekend for the remainder of the season to practice and
play games against other teams in their age group. Games are scheduled through mid-February. A
double-elimination tournament creates a fun and competitive way to end the season.
The program strives to maintain a competitive balance for the benefit and enjoyment of all
participants (players, family members & coaches). The loss of one player on a regular basis can
seriously affect this competitive balance. Excessive absences will affect the amount of playing time
your son will receive in games that he attends and will disqualify him from the year-end tournament
and travel team participation. Therefore, if you are unable commit your time to the program due to
participation in other sports or social programs, we request you do not participate in our program.
TRAVEL TEAM BASKETBALL
Junior pro travel is open to any Junior Pro participant who wants to spend the extra time developing
their skills and competing against competitive teams from other school districts. These teams are
open to players in grades 3 through 6 (2nd graders may also try out for the 3rd grade team, but
preference is given to 3rd graders if there is an extremely large turnout). Generally, a travel team
consists of one team per grade with a maximum of 12 players. Due to increased interest, Junior Pro
has expanded the travel program to two teams per grade with up to 10 players per team, if
necessary. Teams will either play in the Westmoreland County elementary school basketball league
or the Pittsburgh Metro league as well as several end-of-season tournaments.
Please note:
 The in-house league fee does not include travel team participation. Travel team participants
pay an additional fee to cover travel game referees and tournament fees. The fee varies
depending on the number of travel players and tournaments. We are sensitive to the budget
planning needs of families so the value will be quickly determined once travel practices begin.
The travel team fee is likely to be $125 per player.
 The travel league is a competitive program. Unlike the in-house league where equal playing
time is stressed, equal playing time is not guaranteed on travel teams so some players will likely
play more than others.

General Rules and Expectations of Our Parents and Fans
The program coaches are teaching the basic elements and principals of the Latrobe Jr. and
Sr. High School basketball programs. This is to enable your child to develop the necessary
basketball skills to eventually compete at these levels. Interference, especially coaching
from the stands by family or friends, will not be tolerated at any time. All encouragement is
welcomed but instruction from the stands is not.
Practices will begin and end on time.
Please have your children to their designated
practice and game locations at least 10-minutes before the scheduled starting time and
arrive to pick up your child at the designated ending time of the practice.
PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT:
Parents are expected to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the principles of
the program. No parent shall at any time lay a hand upon, shove, strike an official, coach or
player. No parent may direct personal or verbal abuse toward any official or coach for any
real or perceived wrong decision or judgment. No parent may use profane or vulgar
language or gestures in any manner or at any time. No parent may take part in
objectionable demonstrations towards league rules, regulations and policies. No parent
may consume alcohol or use tobacco products while at the game site. The penalties for
violations include ejection from the game and possible criminal prosecution under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. You will also be banned from attending any future
program activities.
You are responsible for informing spectators whom you invite to games, including other
family members, of this policy.
