My son will be going into 6th grade. We live in Morris County. He plays for a local club. What clubs are good and known for good youth programs? Thoughts on BBL Helix team?
Play for the club his friends play for. Make sure he enjoys the sport before you start traveling to Long Island in the spring with BBL.
Depending where you are in Morris County, BBL would probably be the closest. Leading Edge, Tri-State and Blue Star are other good options as well. I agree with the comment above, make sure this is what your son really wants because it is a huge time/travel commitment, it also helps if he has friends on the team as there can be a lot of downtime. For the most part, none of these teams play in NJ in the summer LI, PA, MD and DE are where most of the tournaments are located. You will be on the road every weekend during June and part of July, so don't count on any vacations until the end of July or August. Helix is not BBL's top team, but is a stepping stone to their Elite team, a lot depends on your son's skill level.
