Submitted by paula on Tue, 04/05/2016 - 7:56pm

Two local basketball coaches have put together a new program, on that will give South Lake Tahoe area boys in grades three through eight the opportunity to take their game to the next level. The 10-week Spring Session goes until June 18.

Elevation Elite is putting together a team of players who will travel and participate in five different tournaments. The tentative schedule includes games at the Hardwood Palace: April 23, 30 and May 14, South Lake Tahoe Memorial Day Tournament: May 28-30, and the Lake Tahoe Championships June 17-19, 2016.

Even though practice starts this week, sign-ups are still being taken.

Practices will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (there will be no practice during the LTUSD Spring Break starting April 11).

Total fee for 2016 Spring Session is $275.00. This fee includes ALL tournament entry fees and uniforms. There are also affordable payment plans available.

This team is for students from both sides of the state line.
