2024 Tryout Dates & Times @ Wilmington Christian Academy

Wilmington Excel coaches are experienced volunteer coaches with a strong commitment to young players and their families. They meet periodically throughout the year to continue growing as leaders and develop the program.

The season runs from March through June. Teams practice 1-2 times a week at a local gym and play in tournaments 2-3 times a month. Tournaments typically consist of pool play on Saturday and bracket play on Sunday.

The participation fee is $400-$475 per player and includes the cost of a shooting shirt, tournament fees, insurance and practice facility rentals. Financial assistance is available to those in need.

Excel parents make a commitment to support their child as well as the coaching staff and players of their team according to program guidelines.

Excel players commit to attending practices and tournaments on a consistent basis. Therefore, they’re not allowed to play on other basketball travel teams. Academically, Excel players are required to maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA.
