My children are not of the age of playing team sports yet, however I did work at ASU a few years back and definitely recall that there were sports camps during the summer. I'd go to their website to see if they have something you are looking for. Also, I hear there are many sports camps throughout the valley. Welcome to AZ!

my son has been playing team sports now for awhile,and our favorite is NYS national youth sports, YMCA and Boys and girls club are also really good. Whatever city you are in go to their parks and recreation dept to find out about the team sports, I haven't heard of any "traveling sports teams" except aqua stars is an synchronized (sorry if I spelled it wrong) swim team who travels all over the US,quite a few of the girls have competed in the Olympics they go to the Jr olympics every year. I know the Rowing team in Tempe also travels,so as far as specialized sports,they have traveling teams I think there is also one for soccer,but I dont have the details my son's "sport" is football,and we haven't heard of any travelling football teams,because there are so many cities so close together,that even an away game is still within the area.

I assume that you mean real, competitive basketball? For girls, there is The AZ Elite (www.azelite.com). There are comparable teams for boys, but I'm not as familiar with them. I'm sure that someone form the elite could point you in the right direction.

If you have girls, the coach from Seton Catholic High School, in Chandler, just "4A coach of the year", and the Chandler/Gilbert area is a nice area for families.

Yes, there are traveling sports teams for children. I know of traveling baseball and soccer clubs. I am sure there are others. The Valley of the Sun (Phoenix and the surrounding communities) is a big place. Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the United States.
