If you have any questions regarding tryouts, please contact Steve Lutz (VP of Boys) at SLutz@Maybelline.com or Randy Howe (VP of Girls) at fitzhowe@hotmail.com.

Please remember to also register your child for the Rec tryouts in case s/he does not make a travel team. The form must be submitted at Town Campus (Beach & Rec).

The travel teams will be posted no later than Sunday October 19th at 8:00 PM.

If this is your first time, please be sure to read up about our travel program and to talk to families that have experienced it before deciding to participate. The MYBA supports the development of individual players in a highly competitive environment and as experienced moms and dads know, the emphasis during the winter is on “travel”! Teams typically practice once or twice per week, participate in 2-3 tournaments and play 25+ games in a season.
