Like most basketball clubs, VBC is self-funded through player fees, admission charges for games, a concession stand, and various fundraisers throughout the season.

The number of teams each year will vary based on the number of participants.  VBC will have approximately 8 travel teams, 4 house league teams, and about 12 K/1/2 Skills Teams.  What is great about VBC basketball is that EVERYONE who wants to play will MAKE a team.  There is a spot for players of all skill levels who wish to learn about basketball and improve his/her skills.

Any student that resides within the Voorheesville Central School District boundaries - with some exceptions on a case by case basis as determined by the VBC Board.

Travel Season - The season begins in October with registration and tryouts, practices begin no later than November, games begin in December, and the season concludes in late February-March with playoffs.

House Season - The season begins in October/November with registration and tryouts, practices begin no later than November, games begin in January, and the season concludes in February.

K/1/2 Skills Season – The season begins in December and runs for approximately 8 weeks.

Travel League Practices will be held at the Peter Young Center located at 1180 Berne-Altamont Rd, Altamont, NY 12009. Home games will be played at the Voorheesville High School or Middle School Gyms.

House League Practices and Games will be held at Voorheesville Elementary School “Large Gym.”

K/1/2 Skills League practices will be held at one of the 2 gyms in Voorheesville Elementary School. 

The Travel Teams will play in the CYO League, and play other CYO Teams.  5^th to 6^th grade teams are part of the “Biddy” Division of the CYO League.  7^th and 8^th grade teams are part of the “Juniors” Division of the CYO League.

House Teams will play other Voorheesville Basketball Club House Teams.

K/1/2 Skills may play some games against other Voorheesville Basketball Club K/1/2 Skills Teams towards the end of the season.

Most Travel Teams practice twice per week for an hour and a half each.  Travel Teams will have 1 or 2 games on the weekend.  Games last approximately 1 hour, but most coaches expect players at the court at least 30 minutes before the game.

House Teams will practice one day per week for an hour to an hour and a half.  Games are approximately 1 hour and high school students act as the referees.  

K/1/2 Skills Teams will practice once per week on Saturday.

VBC is a community basketball program focusing on teaching the fundamentals of basketball while also developing players physical and emotional well-being.  We expect both players and parents to have respect for teammates, competitors, our volunteer coaches, and the referees of each game. 

Absolutely! As a volunteer organization, VBC needs volunteers to make the program a success each season.  We are always looking for parents to be a coach or assistant coach of teams, work concessions/admissions, keep the scorebook, or run the scoreboard. See our volunteers section for more information about these opportunities. Parents are the key factor for the success and continuity of VBC.
