The Bemidji Youth Basketball traveling teams are an opportunity for more advanced players in grades 3-8 to travel to tournaments for an increased level of competition. Practices still emphasize fundamentals but also more advanced skills and concepts to develop the player and team to be prepared for a higher level of competition.
Players/parents will need to complete a BYBA Traveling Team registration form if they want to be considered for selection on a BYBA traveling team.
Traveling A teams at each grade level will not exceed a maximum of 10 players. Traveling B teams will be considered for 3rd-6th grades if the number of registrants permits and there is an available coach. The 6th, 7th and 8th grade teams will be split into A (no more than 10 players) and B (no more than 12 players) teams based on evaluations at the fall tryout. The number of players on each team will be determined by the coaches based on the number of registrants and approved by the Competition Committee or board. If a coach can’t be obtained for a certain grade level/gender group there will be no traveling team.
If you are interested in coaching a travel team, please email bemidjiyouthbasketball@gmail.com if you are interested.
Grades 3-5 traveling teams will practice starting in January. Teams will practice 2 days per week for up to 2 hours per practice. Optional additional practice times may be made available and will be communicated by the head coach.
Grades 6-8 traveling teams will slightly overlap with middle school basketball. More information will come out soon.
3rd and 4th = Equal playing time
5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Grade = 1/3 playing time per tourney.
Due to game flow players may experience more time in some games and less in others. Player absence, injury or illness can also reduce playing time or as a result of infractions of player expectations.
The Coach may request parents to help out with things such as keeping books during the game or videotaping games. Parents will also be requested to volunteer for concessions or admissions table in the Bemidji Pride of the North Tournament. Many programs require up to a $100.00 refundable volunteer fee. Please be willing to volunteer so we do not have to begin implementing such fees.
