Overview
Beginning in the 4th grade, all players in grades 4-8 who have signed up for
the MYBA are eligible to tryout for a spot on a competitive travel team which
the MYBA enters in the MetroWest Basketball League. Parents and players
are asked to carefully assess their level of commitment to the game of
basketball before joining a MetroWest team.
Tryouts are conducted beginning in September for up to three nights of
basketball skill and competition. In general, the MYBA selects an "A" team
and a "B" team at each level. The decision to have more or less at a given
level is dependent upon the number of players trying out, the relative
competitiveness of the available players, and suitable coaching candidates.
Those decisions are under the authority of the Vice-President of the MYBA.

How MetroWest Teams Are Selected
Questions about how the players are selected for a MetroWest team are
frequent. The MYBA has a defined process in place which, while not perfect,
attempts to be as fair and objective as possible. For the selection process
guidelines, click here
Interested in Coaching a Team?
In preparation for the upcoming MetroWest Basketball season, the MYBA is
seeking volunteer coaching candidates. Last year the MYBA had 21 teams
participate in the competitive travel programs (Boys and Girls Grade 4
through 8) and this year we currently have head-coaching opportunities open
and available for 4th grade girls and boys, and 5th grade girls.
We seek coaches who are interested in development of youth teams and
players at a competitive level. Candidates will be evaluated on their coaching
and youth development experience, training, and playing credentials as well
as previous MYBA service.
Candidates should understand that the time commitment for practice is
typically one weeknight and one Saturday each week. Games will be played
on Sundays. Travel to other MetroWest communities is involved for at least
half the games played. Tournament play is voluntary but it is highly
encouraged.
Interviews for vacant coaching positions will be held each year beginning in
August Coaches will be selected after all interviews have been completed.
Team selection occurs mid to late September and practice begins in late
October. Games begin in December and the season ends typically the
second week in March.
If you are interested in a rewarding volunteer coaching position and possess
the time and the dedication to make a difference, please send your
credentials to Bruce Bouck, Vice President, MYBA at runbrb@comcast.net.
