Pictures and Trophies
WYBA will no longer provide pictures for participants. We will provide participation trophies for players in Kindergarten through 3rd Grade. For players in the 4th through 6th Grade, we provide 1st and 2nd place trophies to members of the top two teams in each division.

Optional Preseason Clinic (Register online at the same time as registering for the Winter League)
WYBA offers an optional preseason clinic for all Eanes K-6th graders. This is a great way to kick-off our WYBA season; it allows your child to get ready for the season while having fun with their friends. The WHS coaches conduct the clinic so it is a great way to meet them. WYBA donates all proceeds to support the WHS Basketball teams. You can learn more about the clinic by clicking on this link.

RECREATIONAL LEAGUE

The Recreational League is for all grades, Kindergarten to 12th. It teaches basic skills and is intended to be informative and fun. While it is mostly Eanes Eligible students, we are able to accommodate some non-Eanes students in the Recreational League. The teams are divided into divisions based on Gender and Grade. The teams practice once a week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday). Grades K- 6th generally play one game a week on Saturday. Grades 7th-12th generally play one game a week on Sunday afternoon. Each team’s Volunteer Coach will select the practice night and time for his/her team. There is no tryout for the Recreational League.

Each year the Divisions are determined by the number of registrations. The most common Divisions for Girls are: K/1st Grade; 2nd Grade; 3rd Grade; 4th Grade and 5th/6th Grade. The most common Divisions for the Boys are: Kindergarten; 1st Grade; 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade; 4th Grade; 5th/6th Grade; 7th/8th Grade and 9th/12th Grade.

We do not keep score for K-2nd. These teams are formed mostly by school of attendance. For Grades 3rd-8th, we do keep score and have a player draft to form teams. The Girls Divisions sometimes choose to continue forming school related teams for the 3rd Graders, however, this must be agreed on by the Coordinators and Coaches. Grades 9th-12th are player coached and teams are formed through a collaboration between the coaches and the Coordinator. The cost of the Recreational League is listed below:

PREP LEAGUE

The Prep League is for players in the 4th; 5th and 6th Grades. It is a more competitive league and has a limited number of players. Because of the limitation, players must be Eanes Eligible Students and participate in tryouts unless granted a waiver by the league. The Prep League consists of 3 Divisions: Girls Prep; Boys Junior Prep, and Boys Senior Prep. The Girls Prep League and Boys Junior Prep Divisions consist of 6 teams with 8 players per team. The Boys Senior Prep Division consist of 8 teams with 8 players per team.

If a player wishes to play in the Prep League and is unable to attend the tryouts, he/she must notify us of the conflict in advance. Missing the tryout due to justifiable reasons does not disqualify the player from consideration; however, failure to notify us does. The Tryout consist of two parts:

The Girls Prep and Boys Junior Prep normally practice on Sunday afternoon and play games on Wednesday nights (2 contacts per week). The Boys Senior Prep normally practice on Sunday afternoon and play games on Monday and Thursday nights (3 contacts per week). The cost of the Prep League is listed below:
