Required Commitment
If an individual is selected to play on an LYBA Travel Team, that individual is required to maintain 100% commitment to that team. In the event of missed LYBA practices or games due to the participation in any other activity, it is at the discretion of the Travel Coach and/or Travel Director to conduct a review. If the review does not find a satisfactory commitment from that individual to his/her LYBA Travel Team, dismissal from the team will occur for that individual with no refund of his/her registration fees.
All tryout results will be posted on our website. Results will not be listed by player name as players will be identifiable only by their tryout number. Participants will also be notified by email and/or phone. Players will be given a 48 hour window to reply with their intention to participate on the team, as well as pay their registration fees for the season. Please be advised that at this time, the player will be advised whether they have been chosen to participate on the A (Orange) Team, or the B (Black) Team (if there are two teams at that player's level). At this point, coaches for the Travel Teams will not have been selected by the board, so players will not know who the coach for their team will be prior to accepting a position on the team. Coaches will be determined after players have been placed on teams and the board will review the candidates that have registered to coach (Head or Assistant).
Travel Tryouts - General Information
Tryout Sessions
Tryouts will be broken out into two parts :
Drills: Selected drills during tryouts will allow for concentrated display of ability in all areas of basketball. A variety of drills will keep players interested in seeking perfection, preventing boredom and complacency. This will give evaluators the opportunity to see all aspects of the player’s ability. Drills will cover both offensive and defensive skill areas. Every drill will give the player the ability to display his/her skills for game situations.
Controlled Scrimmages: During controlled scrimmages participants will be broken up and selected by the organizer of the try-outs at random. Skills will continue to be assessed by each evaluator during a set amount of time.
Selecting and Evaluating Players
Tryout evaluations will be conducted by three or four evaluators. These evaluators have been selected by the LYBA board. Each evaluator will have an evaluation sheet that will score players abilities in designated areas. Evaluators are not allowed to evaluate their own child. At the end of the tryout period each evaluator will recommend up to 25 players based on their assessment of each player over their try out days.
The top 16-20 players will be placed on two teams. A third team of 8-10 players may be added based on the discretion of the evaluators, based on talent level, and as approved by the board. Factors that will be considered regarding team development include: the talent level of the prospective players, available gym space for practicing, and available coaches. If a player decides not to commit to the Travel Team for which they are selected, the next highest rated player will be offered a spot on the team.
The number of days required for a participant to attend
Registrants are only required to attend one of the two days designated for their age group/gender for try outs. However, it is highly recommended that they attend both days if possible, so they can be evaluated effectively. If your child is not able to attend both days, please notify the evaluators at check-in.
