WYBA is offering a 2018 Spring program for 3rd through 8th graders.  The program is designed to help players develop individual skills and learn advanced team concepts.  The workouts will be challenging, like those used by Tournament Teams.  The workouts will be conducted by Paul Lamb, experienced coach and Executive Director of WYBA.

The 8-week session begins the week of March 19 and ends the week of May 7.  The one workout session per week will last 1 hour and 15 minutes.  Each session will be limited to approximately 14-20 players. The younger players and older players will be separated into two groups.  These Co-Ed workouts will allow each player to build upon his/her skill level.

The 8-week Spring Session cost is $175. When registering please select the evening you prefer- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. If you dont have a preference, please choose the Any Evening option.  This allows us to adjust the nightly assignments so that groups have roughly the same number of players.  Please increase the chances of getting the night you prefer by registering early. Some nights may fill and require us to assign players on a different night. If this happens, you will be contacted before a change is made.

Please email paul@wlyba.org if you have any questions.

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 preseason 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 teams 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:

REC FEES

Grades K-3rd Play 8 Games	$175.00
Grades 4th-12th Play 8 Games plus Tournament	$200.00

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 consists of two parts:

Girls Prep  Part 1-Skills  Oct. 28, 2017 *9:00-12:00    Part 2-Scrimmage  Nov. 4, 2017 *9:00-12:00  Boys Jr. & Sr. Prep  Part 1-Skills  Oct. 29, 2017 *1:00-6:00    Part 2-Scrimmage  Nov. 5 ,2017 *1:00-6:00
