Connecticut Storm 2024 Girls Travel Teams Summary

Teams: Teams will be selected after tryouts.  Tryouts will be in the Fall preceding the year of the travel team and/or in the Spring of the AAU year. 

Tournaments:  Tournaments usually consist of 4 games with 2 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday.  Schedules are tailored to the team age and strength to ensure good matchups, to help insure well run events, and for good college recruiting opportunities for our older teams. The team fees are adjusted accordingly.  Grades 5-6 usually go to three to five events, grades 7–8 five to seven events and 9-11 six to eight tournaments.  Our Advanced Tournament Schedule (ATS) is utilized by our more competitive teams where enough competitively advanced events are available to build a schedule of only high-profile events. 

An opportunity to attend an AAU National event is an important life experience for a young athlete and has a significant impact on her athletic growth. We understand the financial impact to our member families, so we are careful when we select teams to attend.  

Practices:  Generally, practices start in early March or April following the school seasons. Practices usually occur twice per week with locations dependent upon gym availability with a goal of using a central location for that team.   Parent assistance in securing gyms is welcome.  Practices will often be ‘open’ practices to parents, but this may change depending on a number of circumstances.

Force Majeure:   CT Storm and/or its officers shall not be responsible or liable for any failure of or delay of providing practice facilities or tournament access caused by unforeseeable, unavoidable, and insurmountable objective conditions i.e., pandemic, acts of war or terrorism, natural disasters, etc.    Should any of these ‘superior forces’ occur CT Storm officers shall evaluate action to be taken including replacing tournaments, suspending AAU season, reimbursement of a portion of dues paid to date, etc.  Consideration of any due’s reimbursement will include work done to-date i.e., administration work, AAU card expenses, expenses of obtaining practice sites and tournaments, insurance paid, administration/coaches paid to date, travel expenses paid, annual meeting, etc.  Please see “Refund Policy” for additional information.     

Team Selection:  Teams are usually composed of 8-10 players, 6-8 of which will be selected at the club tryouts if enough strength and athlete numbers are present. Selection is made by the coaching staff as well as other observers as appointed by the President and/or a VP.    

Notification:   Athletes are usually notified within 48 hours of the tryout.  Athletes need to be ready with a commitment when the coaches make the contact. Those athletes not selected for teams in an age group will be contacted to address other options supported by the club. 

Commitment Guidelines:   The club understands athletes have many activities that make them well-rounded young women. Important academic and family functions usually take precedence over club activities.  All athletes are expected to attend greater than 90% of practices and games.  Play time may be affected for practice attendance less than 90%. Our commitment to you is to provide the best environment possible for athletic excellence.  

Team Chemistry: Currently one of our focus areas showing good results. Great teams have good chemistry. It is important for parents to understand how their behaviors influence the development of their athlete and the team. Parents or athletes who are detrimental to team chemistry are coached to better behaviors. Other actions may result for continued negative behaviors. Our goal is to correct any issues before athletes attend college exposure events where behaviors are a key part of the evaluation process of both athletes and parents. 

Play Time: Tournament minimum play time rules exist for all athletes. Play time in excess of the minimums will be based on athlete attitude, commitment, work ethic (hustle), ability, etc.  Every healthy athlete will play a minimum of three (3) minutes per game.  An athlete must attend 90% of practices for the guaranteed playing time rules to apply, based on an average of two practices a week.  The club expects coaches to attempt to advance as deep in the tournament as possible balanced with athlete play time.   Coaches will make the final determination.

Travel:   Each team should select a travel coordinator to arrange for group hotel accommodations.  You may stay overnight at up to half of the weekend tournaments.  Athletes are expected to stay with their parents or in rooms shared with other families at the request and approval of the players parents/guardian.  Players staying with coaches other than their parents is prohibited.  Travel expenses are the responsibility of the athlete and her family.

Fundraising:  Fundraising packets are provided for athletes to utilize sponsorship fundraising to defray their club membership and travel costs.  Connecticut Storm is a 501(c)3 non-profit which supports fundraising since contributions are tax deductible. More information is available at the Members Meeting. An annual club fundraiser is often done each year. Our hope is to have 100% participation from all families. 

Evaluations: Coaches will perform a short-written or oral evaluation at midseason and a more in-depth written evaluation at the end of season. Parents and athletes are given feedback forms to evaluate the program and their coaches to support program improvements. 

Members Meeting: March 10, 2024, 4:00pm, Location: Holiday Inn, Norwich

We try to have all teams meet to plan the season with coaches and elected representatives. Member packets are issued including information on fundraising and fees.  Uniforms are available for sizing. CT Storm clothing is available for sale. Team attendance is highly encouraged. There is an abundance of information shared at this meeting that all families will need to be aware of. 

Mother’s Day Tournament:  Parents are strongly asked to provide their shared support of the club’s tournament scheduled for May 11-12, 2024.  Please block out those dates, as this is the club’s major fundraiser. Parents who refuse to contribute time to the event may impact their athlete’s play time. 

Uniforms: The current cost for a New Balance uniform is $164. Parents own the uniform and are responsible for its care. The club reserves the right to change this fee based on our costs and other determining factors. 

College Recruiting: The club hosts how-to seminars intended for our Grades 9, 10 & 11 teams (but open to all) with the focus on what you need to do as a parent and athlete to achieve your goals and understand how you fit in this selection process.  Our recruiting program is to help answer questions about the recruiting process, connect players and college coaches, send schedules to college coaches, etc. The Connecticut Sun WNBA team may also be a part of our Recruiting process. 

2024 Fees:     Team            Fee            Team            Fee

Grade 5        $995            Grade 8        $1350

Grade 6        $1230            Grade 9        $1370

Grade 7        $1270            Grade 10        $1460

Grade 11        $1460

Combo teams, Select teams, etc. fees will be the same as the majority of the grade level of players on the team, i.e., if a team has eight Grade 7 players and two Grade 8 players the fees will be equal to that of the Grade 7 Team.

 Fees for additional teams are based on their age and tournaments selected. The club reserves the right to make small adjustments in fees for teams which select a more aggressive event schedule. Checks made to the club and returned for insufficient funds are subject to a $25 processing fee.

Fees:   Travel team fees may be paid in periodic installments.  The first payment of $400 is due within four (4) days of making a team.  This payment is non-refundable and confirms the athlete's team position.   A second installment of $300 is due on or before January 15.  The remaining balance is due no later than March 1.  Fees are immediately used to pay for club expenses which are incurred and calculated from the program preparation, not the start date of events.  Administrative work and related expenses including player AAU registration, insurance, tournament fees, practice site fees, scorebooks, basketballs, medical kits, Storm coaches, etc. are front-end expenses.

Play and practice time may be suspended if the account is not paid or a payment plan has not been negotiated by the start of the first tournament game.   

Payments by check are preferred and can be sent to the club address:   

CT Storm Basketball Club

            46 North Court

            Colchester, CT 06415

Refund Policy:  Refunds, excluding the $400 non-refundable amount, will be proportionate to the unused portion with further deductions based on proximity to the start (first practice) of the program.  Specifically, anyone requesting a refund prior to 90 days before the first practice will be eligible to receive 75% of their remaining balance paid (less the non-refundable $400).   Example:  Paid $1,000 dues and withdrew 91 days or more before the first practice:  Refund will be the $1,000 less the $400 non refundable amount: $1,000 - $400 = $600 X 75% = $450 refund.  

Anyone requesting a refund 90 days or less before the first practice will be eligible to receive 50% of their remaining balance paid (less the non-refundable $400).  Example:  Paid $1,000 dues and withdrew 90 days or less before the first practice.  Refund will be the $1,000 less the $400 non refundable amount: $1,000 - $400 = $600 X 50% = $300 refund.

The eligibility and appropriateness of all potential refunds will be at the sole discretion of the President and/or the Vice President of the CT Storm.

CT Storm and the Connecticut Sun WNBA:  The CT Storm has partnered with the Connecticut Sun WNBA team. Through this partnership, we will have close contact with the CT Sun coaches, players and the Mohegan Sun facility. Some benefits of this are coaches and players will run clinics for Storm players and clinics for Storm coaches. CT Sun will be helpful with the recruiting process, answering questions, giving input, etc. During the CT Sun season, CT Storm players will be eligible for discounted tickets, ball exchanges, fan tunnels, meet and greet with WNBA players, etc. We highly encourage our Storm families to take advantage of having this resource in our backyard. Connecticut Season tickets can be purchased at http://sun.wnba.com/season-tickets/ . The games are so much fun and a great opportunity for our athletes to see the next level! 

CT Storm and Progression Training:

CT Storm is proud to have partnered with Progression Training in Groton.  Owned by CT Sun Player Development Coach, Keith Porter, Progression provides personalized basketball training to players of all ages.  This year members of Connecticut Storm will have the opportunity to train at Progression to focus on skill work.

15 Best Things to Do in Colchester (CT)

The quiet, rural town of Colchester was incorporated at the turn of the 18th century and grew up around a picturesque town green.

Three centuries later it’s reassuring that most of the life in Colchester Center coalesces at this space, which is protected as a historic district.

In amongst the 18th and 19th-century houses and monuments are shops, cafes, restaurants and local amenities.

There’s natural beauty all around the town, at waterfalls, ponds and lakes.

Hiding here are compelling historical fragments, at one of the last remaining covered bridges in the state and the vestiges of mills that once littered the countryside.

1. Salmon River State Forest

The Salmon River is thought to the be the longest river and largest watershed to have both its source and mouth in the state of Connecticut.

At the Salmon River State Forest, spreading across a massive 6,000 acres, you can hike the banks and explore its many tributaries.

The Salmon River Trail is a Connecticut Blue-Blazed trail, almost seven miles long and found almost entirely within Colchester’s town lines.

And while the forest may feel almost primeval, your walk will take you past streams that were almost clogged with industry in the 19th century.

During low precipitation at North Westchester, the paper mill had to run by day and the grist mill at night.

2. Day Pond State Park

Day Pond, east of Salmon River State Forest, was the scene of similar industry.

In the Colonial era the pioneering Day family established a sawmill, damming a pond to turn a large overshot waterwheel.

Only the foundations of this enterprise survive, but still give a sense of what it might have been like some 300 years ago.

The pond is stocked with trout, and a good place for less experienced anglers to learn the ropes.

You can also come swimming in the summer, and there’s a little beach to relax on.

Winding off into the woods are some five miles of hiking trails.

3. Colchester Village Historic District

The oldest part of Colchester converges on a cute town green, laid out around the town’s original meeting house.

Bordering the green on pedestrian-friendly streets are homes, commercial buildings and civic buildings, mostly from the 19th century.

From the early 1800s you’ll see the Greek Revival Colchester Federated Church and the Bacon Academy, the first secondary school in the region, completed in 1803. One sight testifying to Colchester’s 19th-century industrial development is the Wheeler Block (1872) at 40 Norwich Avenue.

Designed in the Second Empire style with a refined mansard roof, this building housed commercial businesses on its ground floor and a Masonic lodge above, before being used as a town hall from 1936 to 1991. Over the street from the green at 9 Hayward Avenue, stands the Hayward House (1775), which from the 1840s was the home of inventor Nathanial Hayward.

4. Priam Vineyards

Founded in 1998 and producing wine since 2003, Priam Vineyards grows, blends, ages and bottles its wines at this 20-acre estate on a painterly hillside.

The vines, all European varietals, do well in a microclimate in the hills of New London county, benefiting from a consistent breeze and mineral-rich, gravelly soil.

The winery, powered entirely by solar energy, is built into the vineyard, taking advantage of the naturally cool temperatures in the wine cellar.

The tasting bar, tasting room and patio are open all year, Wednesday to Sunday between May-December and Friday to Sunday, January to April.

There will be something new to taste whenever you come as the 16 hand-crafted wines complete their ageing periods at different times.

5. Comstock Covered Bridge

On the west side of Salmon River State Forest is one of only three remaining covered bridges in Connecticut.

The advantage of structures like these was that the roof would protect the bridge’s timbers from rain and preserve them for longer.

Comstock Covered Bridge was completed in 1840 and has two spans over the Salmon River, one covered and one open.

The main covered span has a triangular gabled roof and is walled with vertical board siding.

These days the bridge is restricted to pedestrians, and has gates at either limit.

In the 1920s a truck crashed through the floor and the restoration was carried out in the 30s by the Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps, installing the gates.

6. Mooween State Park

Acquired by the state in 1989, this 600-acre parcel of dense woodland was initially home to the Native American Mohegan Tribe, which broke away from the Pequots in the 17th century (Mooween means “bear”). Later the land was deforested and used for grazing, until the 1920s when a summer camp for boys, Camp Mooween was set here until the 1960s.

There are faint traces from this time, in the shape of the stone chimney of the main hall and concrete foundations, all being swallowed by nature.

Trails wend their way through the woodland to the shore of Red Cedar Lake, primed for fishing and non-motorized boating.

7. Colchester RecPlex

The town’s go-to for outdoor recreation has a whole complex of baseball/softball fields, as well as a tennis annex, a lighted basketball court, a skate park and several lighted horseshoe pits.

For children there are three different playscapes, each aimed respectively at ages 3-5, 5-12 and 12 and up.

June through September wee ones can also cool off at the splashpad, which has a designated period for children with special needs on Saturday mornings.

Given the amount of competitive baseball that takes place at the RecPlex in summer, there’s also a concession stand called The Dugout, for hotdogs, burgers, cheese steaks, fries and the like.

And on top of all this you can make use of free wireless internet throughout the park.

8. Fat Orange Cat Brew Co.

A true small-batch craft brewery, Fat Orange Cat Brew Co. is based on a farm and is only open seasonally on weekends.

The brewery’s beers are made with pure well water sourced on the property, which is on the Salmon River watershed.

This is such a homespun operation that the choice of beers on tap fluctuates by the weekend, and is published on the website.

When we put this list together in September 2019 there were eight to choose from, including a guava and passion fruit sour ale, three New England IPAs with tropical notes, a white stout, and a pale ale and gose, both spiced up with jalapenos.

9. Lebanon Green Vineyards

Also local, Lebanon Green Vineyards cultivates vitis vinifera as well as French hybrid vines for blended wines.

Over time Lebanon Green has experimented, searching for the right varieties to thrive in rural Connecticut’s harsh winters.

You can call in Friday to Sunday for tastings at a rustic repurposed shed.

Among the whites are Patriot White (Cayuga White, Chardonnay Riesling), Liberty White and Freedom White (both Cayuga and Chardonnay). Reds include the fruity and dry War Office Red and the smooth Revolutionary Red (Cab Franc, Saint-Croix), while Wayland Blush is a refreshing rosé produced from Riesling, Cayuga and Saint-Croix.

On Saturdays you can bring a picnic basket and enjoy some live music alfresco.

10. Devil’s Hopyard State Park

At Chapman’s Falls on the Eightmile River is a 1,000-acre state park for hiking, camping, birding, fishing and bicycling.

The big draw is the waterfall, dropping 20 meters over ledges of Scotland schist.

In the 19th century these falls powered “Beebe’s Mills”, and before that this is thought to have been the site of a mill that was owned by British Loyalists, but was sacked by the Sons of Liberty in 1775. To support this story, a large fragment of broken millstone was discovered at the foot of the falls in 2002. Also make sure to hike the orange trail to Vista Point cliff, a scenic lookout 53 meters above the Eightmile River.

Trace the course of the river and you’ll happen upon three historic highway bridges, each on the National Register of Historic Places.

11. Cato Corner Farm

You can support a local business and buy some world-class cheese at Cato Corner Farm.

The milk for the cheese come from a herd of 45 pasture-fed Jersey cows, raised without growth hormones or unnecessary antibiotics.

Something interesting about the farm’s range is that you can taste the changes in the cows’ diet between summer when they’re in pasture and winter, when they move inside, feeding on local hay and producing a much richer milk that goes into semi-soft cheeses like “Hooligan”. There are 16 cheeses in all: Look into Bloomsday, a firm cheese, balancing cheddar-like acidity with a little sweetness, and Black Ledge Blue, which goes great with dessert wines and pears, and melts beautifully on a steak.

The farm’s little shop is open Fridays, Saturdays (10-4), and Sundays (11-4).

12. Lake Hayward

This lake off the northern tip of Devil’s Hopyard State Park is named for Nathaniel Hayward (1808-1865). He invented the process of vulcanization, together with his more famous one-time partner Charles Goodyear.

Hayward later moved to Colchester to open a shoe factory, and bought land on the shore of what would later be renamed Lake Hayward.

This stunning 174-acre body of water is drained by the Eightmile River, and has upscale private homes on its shores with their own jetties.

But if you have a non-motorized boat/kayak you can use the public launch on the northern shore at 15 Fedus Road.

The north and east shores are a little wilder, and as you paddle you may see beaver lodges and wading birds like herons.

13. Blue Slope Country Museum

A working farm but also a rural museum, Blue Slope has also has a whole program of events and activities throughout the year for all ages.

There are wagon rides pulled by two giant Belgian draft horses, square dances, craft shows, horse-driving clinics, campfires and an annual concert.

The museum is open by reservation, presenting a large array of antique farming implements and offering insights about rural life and the ecology of New London County.

If you come on a typical day you can also request a private tour of the museum’s collection.

14. Zagray Farm Museum

This farm in Colchester is also dedicated to New England’s agricultural history, opening its gates for Spring, Summer and Fall shows in May, June and October.

At these events you can check out tons of vintage machinery in the form of tractors, cars, trucks, bulldozers, an epic stationary engine, a working sawmill from 1873 and the 1938 32E14 Fairbanks Morse diesel engine.

Those heavy-duty machines are fired up for demonstrations, and you can also step inside a working antique machine shop and a foundry.

On top of all that are wagon rides, tours of a 1930s farmhouse, a swap meet area and a host of vendors, among them food trucks for breakfast, lunch and sweet treats.

15. Gallery Cinemas

Right by the Colchester RecPlex, Gallery Cinemas is a well-supported local multiplex with small, intimate rooms.

You won’t find the sort of scale and luxuries of the big cinema chains, but there’s a lot to love.

Firstly, you may not be able to watch a first-run movie cheaper, especially if you take advantage of the $6.25 movies all day on Tuesdays.

All the auditoriums have cutting-edge sound systems, while the concessions are also recommended.

You can get pretzels freshly baked by the order if you don’t mind waiting, while the popcorn is also excellent, and you’re able to serve your own melted butter.

The Highway Department would like to remind residents of the possible hazard a portable basketball pole can present when placed on the side of the roadway. The hoop that extends into the travel lane can cause damage to passing vehicles and equipment. Please be sure that the structure is placed well off the roadway as to not interfere with passing traffic.  

During the snow season the basketball poles must be removed entirely as they interfere with snow operations. Another obstacle that the plows face is the placement of garbage containers along the roadway. The Town crew is responsible for clearing the snow back to the curb and the garbage containers should be placed accordingly.

A further reminder for residents, do not let children play in the snow embankments on the side of the road. Although they are an attractive recreation area, the snow plow drivers cannot see the presence of a small child playing, especially if it is snowing.  

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our roadways safe.
