Boys Basketball

Boys basketball is a D1 sport. We play European DoDEA teams, such as Ramstein, K-town, Wiesbaden, Stuttgart and Vilseck as well as D2 and D3 teams. We also play international schools in London. Our schedule is full and competitive. We are always looking for dedicated players with a willingness to work hard and be part of a great program.

Basketball Season starts early December.  Please review Europe West Basketball Calendar for SY 22-23 to keep abreast of our upcoming games.

Winter Cheer

Winter Cheer will have its own tryout in November. Being on Fall cheer does not guarantee you a spot on Winter Cheer. Winter Cheer will cheer for the basketball teams and runs approximately November to end of February. The Varsity team (12 members) during Winter Cheer will go to Europeans in Germany the end of February. In both seasons traveling only occurs when there is space available on the bus and approved by administration. Over the summer stretching, core exercises, and leg & arm strengthening will help you prepare for the season.

Girls Basketball

Lakenheath Girls Basketball is a member of DoDEA Europe Division I. Tryouts are held early to mid-November, and the season runs through late February when the varsity squad travels to Germany to compete in the European Championships. There is a JV and a varsity squad, but all the girls practice together. As coaches, we try to keep a fun yet competitive atmosphere during practices as well as games. We stress the importance of the girls becoming a family and working as a unit during the season. Whether you are a future LeBron James or have never even played the game, come out this fall and give the Lady Lancers a shot!

Basketball Season starts early December.  Please review Europe West Basketball Calendar for SY 22-23 to keep abreast of our upcoming games.

Wrestling

Wrestling practices start early November. Off-season conditioning is necessary to the success of wrestlers. The team will travel 5 or 6 times during the season and managing a healthy diet is crucial to your success. Please review Europe Wrestling Calendar for SY 22-23 to keep abreast of our upcoming games.
