Any tryouts for travel-type basketball teams for 8th grade girls, please post here.

Have been tracking a bunch of teams on Instagram and Twitter, but not finding much. Any tips on teams to check out with tryouts this fall, most appreciated. As close-in to downtown DC would be fantastic! Sad that there is no competitive girls’ basketball clubs at middle school level happening in DC, from what I can tell. Please correct me if I am wrong!

Contact the teams you are interested in directly. Most will give you a tryout even if they aren’t advertising tryouts.

I think most of the tryouts are done.

What is the typical season for travel basketball?
My impression is that it starts in fall and runs through spring and early summer, and then re-starts with tryouts in the early fall. Sometimes there are second tryouts in February/March for the Spring to early summer season. Please provide more detailed information if my impression is incorrect.

Thank you!

Not sure about in actual “DC” but there are a bunch of youth 5th-8th grade Travel teams in Northern VA/ Moco. Tryouts s start in a few weeks. AAU tryouts are in End of Feb/March.

It’s going to be hard to find something in DC. Rec space is pretty hard to come by in the city. My kid plays for DC Premier but practices in PG.

Classics has girls teams. What about MADE in MoCo? Don't worry about whether a team has tryouts coming up. Just find some teams you're interested in, email, and ask if they have spots. They want your money. You will bring your kid to a practice so they can evaluate her.

Sure Rec type teams but elite teams that are sponsored are another story. And that starts at 14U.
