ANNANDALE YOUTH TRAVELING BASKETBALL
Grades 4-8
The Annandale Youth Basketball Association (AYBA) provides an excellent opportunity for boys and girls in grade 4-8 to participate in organized traveling basketball focusing on skills, techniques and competitive play. Practices will begin in November. Teams practice weekday evenings, once or twice a week depending on gym availability. Each traveling team will play in 8-10 tournaments. It is the responsibility of the parents to transport their child to/ from all games and practices.
Volunteer coaches are needed, please contact the Community Education Office if interested 274-3058.
By Friday, September 21nd, parents interested in coaching will need to call Comm. Ed. at 274- 3058. Once the number of coaches is known, we will set the number of teams. There will be a minimum of 6 tournaments and max will be decided by each team and coaches. Once the teams are filled, a waiting list will be created with hopes additional coaches will step forward. 1 Coach= 10 Players= 1 Team.
7th & 8th grade basketball season will take place in the idle part of the middle school season. Gym space for practices will only be reserved during this time of the middle school season.
Coaches Meeting: Wednesday, October 10th at 6:00 p.m. in the Presentation Computer Lab in the Bendix Media Center at the Annandale Elementary School (Please enter through the Main Elementary entrance).
Responsibility of Coaches: Organize/run weekly practices, inform player/families about schedule changes, find scorekeepers and clock operators for all home games their grade level hosts.
Player Evaluations: All players must be present at tryouts to be placed on a traveling team. Please attend both dates as players usually perform better on the second day. Teams are formed by grade, gender, skill level and previous experience. Evaluations will focus on dribbling, passing, ball handling, shooting and end with a scrimmage so that rebounding and defensive skills can be viewed.
