INFORMATION REGARDING THE 2021/2022 THIRD GRADE GIRLS SEASON!
Welcome to the AHYBA Program.  We would like to give you some information on the 3rd Grade Girls program to answer some commonly asked questions. 

We have separate programs for 3rd grade boys & 3rd grade girls.  This encourages participation by as many girls & boys as possible, and allows us to optimize our facilities usage by splitting the program into two separate sessions.

The 3rd Grade Girls program will run from approximately January 22, 2022 to March 17, 2022.  The girls enrolled in this program will receive a call from their coach sometime in mid-January.

Teams in the 3rd Grade Girls program will be formed on a geographical basis, with consideration to competitive balance.  The 3rd Grade program stresses the development of fundamental skills and basic knowledge of the game. The program is conducted in a low key, non-competitive environment. 

After about 3 weeks of practice, the 3rd grade teams will play a 10 game schedule against other 3rd grade teams, with referees provided by the AHYBA. 

 EVALUATIONS FOR ALL THIRD GRADE GIRLS WILL BE HELD ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 9, 2022 AT 7:00 PM AT MINER SCHOOL, 1101 E. Miner St.

Base Cost: $155.00

Opened: 08/09/2021
Closes: 02/06/2022

Open to: Girls

In Grade: 3 for 2021-22 School year

Evaluations for 3rd grade boys travel basketball are

11/3 at Rand Middle School from 8:15 - 9:30 pm

Travel Program Philosophy
To provide an opportunity for kids to participate in an advanced program of basketball with primary emphasis on skill development, team play, sportsmanship and community representation.

Playing Time
Unlike most travel teams, our coaches are all instructed to strive to try and equalize playing time among all of the participants. We have implemented a general guideline that all players should play no less than 1/3 of any game, unless physical or disciplinary issues apply.

Eligibility

You must be a current participant in AHYBA. Certain residency requirements may apply.  Players must only participate with their respective grade (NO PLAYING UP).

Players selected to participate will not be allowed to participate in any other travel level basketball programs during this season (this includes feeder programs). This policy has been established recognizing that participation in this program requires a significant time commitment from the players and their families, and participation in another program, at the same time, would, most likely, be detrimental to both programs. We do understand that some of the participants may be involved with other sporting activities during our season (ie., travel soccer). We will not attempt to restrict involvement in those activities but would expect that priority be given to basketball during the basketball season. Players who tryout for other basketball programs, after being selected to participate in our program, will be removed from their respective teams unless the tryout is approved by one of the travel directors.
