Bring a Basketball to Practice

LYBA Recreation League

For those who feel they are not quite ready to compete as part of one of our travel teams, we offer a well organized Recreation League. This program accounts for approximately 83% of our players and is an integral component of the LYBA.

Any player that is not chosen to play on one of our Travel Teams, or that does not choose to participate in the evaluation process, will be placed on a recreational team, regardless of their skill level or playing experience. Players need to complete the registration process before the deadline to be guaranteed placement in our recreation league.

This team assignment process is different from years past. In 2008, and going forward, there will not be an open draft. Players will be assigned to a team by a random computer process after each coach and their assistant is chosen.
