Little Liners Boys Basketball Tryouts
For the 6th consecutive year, the Phillipsburg Boys Basketball program will be sponsoring several Little Liners Boys teams that will compete in the Lehigh Valley Knee-Hi Basketball League (LVKBL). Teams will be fielded in the Jr. Cadet (6th grade), Cadet (7th grade) and Knee-Hi (8th grade) divisions. Advanced players in the 5th grade may tryout, as well, for the Jr. Cadet team. The LVKBL is the most competitive league in the area for these age groups. For more information regarding the league, please explore the following website: http://www.lvkbl.assn.la/.

Getting the best talent in the area to play together against the best competition in Pennsylvania will pay dividends for the Boys High School program in the future.
