Park Center Traveling Basketball
Park Center Traveling Basketball League (PCTBL) is a basketball league for boys and girls in the Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center communities. We are a non-profit, volunteer-run organization, striving to provide opportunities for athletes who want to compete at a higher level.
Our core program is the Winter traveling basketball season. The season runs from October through mid-March. Teams play in weekend tournaments and practice twice on weeknights for 90 mins. Practice times run between 5-10 p.m. with earlier times prioritized for younger teams. Tournaments fall, on average, every other weekend throughout the Metro area. Our traveling teams rarely venture more than 30 miles from Brooklyn Park.
Though we use the term “traveling Basketball” we do NOT travel outside the metro.
Champlin Park Youth Hockey Association
Our mission is dedicated to the athletic development, personal growth, and sportsmanship of youth hockey players within the CPYHA. We encourage the development of our players individually as hockey players but just as important, as teammates, teaching them valuable lessons that can be applied long after they leave the rink – leadership, commitment, good sportsmanship, self-discipline, personal growth, hard work, teamwork, and outstanding character. We support this development in all players.
Champlin Park Fastpitch Association
The Champlin Park Fastpitch Association (CPFA) is a non-profit organization whose primary goal is the development of fastpitch softball players. This goal is accomplished through organized practices, league competition, tournament play, and offseason development opportunities. A second, but equally vital goal, is to develop sportsmanship and team player attitudes in the athletes of our association.
Champlin Park Traveling Basketball Association
The Champlin Park Traveling Basketball Association (CPTBA) is dedicated to enhancing the development, delivery, and competitiveness of its youth basketball programs. CPTBA serves the youth, parents/legal guardians, and coaches that either reside in the boundaries of the Champlin Park High School or attend a school in the Champlin Park attendance area.
