Junior Lancers basketball is designed to be an opportunity for the players to play at a higher, more advanced level. As such, playing time will not be equal, but instead will be based on effort, skill, and knowledge of the game. All players will play in league games, but not guaranteed in tournament games. Depending on the number of kids for each grade that registers, multiple teams may be formed, or cuts may take place.
Practices: The goal is to have one practice per week while the LLL is in season, with the possibility of expanding to 2 practices after the LLL tournaments at the end of January. Practice days and times will be determined by the coach of each team.
Fees: $75 for 5th-6th grade teams, $125 for 7th-8th grade teams
Tournaments: The goal is to have the 5th-6th grade teams play in 1-2 tournaments, while the 7th-8th grade teams will play in 2-3, depending on availability of tournaments that fit our ability level.
Deadline to Register: Friday, October 28th

Junior Lancer Cross Country
June - October
Manitowoc Lutheran will be sponsoring a Jr. Lancer Cross Country program this summer and next fall. This program is open to boys and girls that will be in grades 5-8 next fall. Mr. Joel Putz will be the coach, in conjunction with the MLHS coaching staff. He teaches 2nd grade at Immanuel and is an avid runner himself. There will be a $30 fee which will cover a team jersey, (yours to keep after the season) summer training sessions, fall practices, and about 5 or 6 meets. It is theoretically possible to do both Jr. Lancer Cross Country and Football, but there will be conflicts between practices and games. For more information please contact Tom Dewane.

The Jr. Lancer Football team is comprised of grades 4-6, and practices are Tuesdays and Thursdays with Friday games that take place before Lancer home football games.
