Travel Basketball Registration Information:
To register for Travel Basketball, families must register their child for Recreational Basketball. There is a question on the registration form that asks, "Are you trying out for DYA Travel Basketball?" Answer "Yes" and complete the registration and you'll be registered for Travel Basketball tryouts.

If your child does make the travel team:
We will transfer the Recreational Basketball fee and put it towards the Travel Basketball fee.

If your child does NOT make the travel team:
Your child can remain in the Rec Basketball League or request for a refund. This is done because registration for Recreational Basketball closes before Travel Basketball tryouts are complete. The child could get shutout if they wait to register after the outcome of Travel Basketball tryouts. This prevents the child from being wait-listed.
