Tryout Details

Tryouts will be held August 10th and 11th at Germantown Hills Middle School. Times will be communicated later when we have schedules from the other area organizations. Our goal is to have one tryout time for each age level to avoid a make-up date. Evaluation will be done by independent evaluators from Metamora and Germantown Hills. Teams will be selected and announced within one month of evaluations. There is no cost to tryout, but if your child is selected to a team the player fee must be paid prior to the first practice.

What does the Travel Basketball Program entail?

The Travel Basketball Program is a competitive program that builds team and individual skills for taking the next steps into their school program.

Practices: Typically, two weekday evening practices and one weekend practice starting in mid-September. Once games start in November, teams drop-down to two weekday evening practices. Practice length is between 1-1/2 to 2 hours all season. Practices may be held in both Germantown Hills & Metamora locations.

(Practices will be considered mandatory after basketball games begin)

Games: All teams will start playing games in November & continue through the end of February. Each team will participate in at least 3 local tournaments and will participate in one overnight tournament. We target 1/3 of the game schedule to be played at Metamora Grade School or Germantown Hill Middle School. Majority of our games will be within 45 minutes of our community, but 1-2 tournaments could be as far as 90 minutes to allow our team to play different competition.

3rd Grade Level - 20-25 guaranteed games
4
th Grade Level - 23-28 guaranteed games
5
th Grade Level - 26-32 guaranteed games

(All teams could play more depending on tournament success)

If your child loves basketball, is looking for a more competitive opportunity than In-House, and/or is wanting more gym time than In-House, the MYSA Travel Basketball Program is a great option for your child.
