For Boys and Girls Grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8th: This Program is a competitive level of basketball for the more serious player. Game schedules will consist of local school, OAB, Hoopsource, Great 48 and other tournaments. Suggested tournament schedules will be provided but each TYBA competitive team has the ability to create their own game schedule from the various tournaments available.
At each grade level there is the possibility of 2 teams each being formed depending on the number of kids trying out and ability levels. This will
also determine which level of play in tournaments (Gold/Silver/Bronze division) they enter as a team. Players must tryout in order to be considered for a team. TYBA requires players to participate in at least 1 tryout session for boys, however, we recommend players make both. Girls tryouts will be held in 1 day. If your player cannot
participate at either tryout for medical reasons, you must have a valid medical note from a doctor and provide that information to the respective Competitive VP.
Registration: By registering, you are not guaranteed a spot on a competitive team, players must tryout and make a team.
**After tryouts are completed and teams are chosen, TYBA will send an invite out to individual players/family to accept their assigned team position and pay for registration/uniform. For those players that do not receive a competitive team invite can chose to register and play in our rec program. Team invites come with a deadline date to act and accept so please follow instructions closely.
Head Coaches: All of our Head Competitive Coaches must fill out an
application and pass a background check to be eligible to coach with TYBA. Qualified applicants will be offered an interview at the board level. If you are interested in helping us as a Head Coach, registering is the first step. Interviews will take place prior to the scheduled tryouts and once registered
the respective Competitive VP will reach out to schedule an interview date/time. Since Head coaches pick their assistant coach/s there is no need for the assistant coach to interview or apply until Head Coaches are selected.
Competitive practices begin mid October 2022
