Welcome to the 2019-2020 CYBL Recreational and Travel Season

Please read carefully below IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION!!!

Overview of Carver Youth Basketball:

CYBL offers two options for girls and boys grades 3-8. Rec league is for those players who want to improve their skills in a semi-competitive league that emphasizes fun. All games are held in town at set times each weekend. Travel basketball is more competitive and more of a time commitment. Games can be in towns up to an hour away and the schedule varies week to week. Travel is for players who are interested in pursuing basketball more seriously in the future, perhaps at the high school level.

Younger players can enroll for Learn to Play which is a skills based developmental program for K-2 ^nd grade girls and boys.  Our Learn to Play program starts in early January and runs for eight weeks until early March.  Commitment is only one hour per week on Saturday mornings.

TRAVEL REGISTRATION

Open Now...closes October 4th

The fee for playing on a travel team this year is $250.  This is higher than last year for several reasons:

1.       Registration for a travel team automatically gets you into our rec league.  When you pay this travel fee you are automatically enrolled in our rec league and will be drafted and placed on a team.

2.       Travel fees have risen in the leagues that we play in (Hanover U, South Shore League, Old Colony League)

3.       New town policy now imposes building use fees on all youth sports for gym time during practices on weekdays and nights.

4.       New town policy also charges us now a significant fee for game time use of the gyms on the weekends.

5.       In addition, we are now also being charged a maintenance (clean-up) fee for our use of the gyms on the weekend.

All this being said, our board has creatively packaged a lot of value into this registration fee, and we think you will be very happy about what you get for your money.  This is what you get:

$250 fee includes:

1.       Registration for a full year of travel*  **

a.       18-20 game season

b.       Two certified refs, clock and scorer for all games

c.       Competition against excellent teams from other towns around the South Shore

*There will be an 8^th grade boys travel team for players who do not make the high school freshmen team.    This team will be determined once tryouts are over in early December.  Please sign up now and if you make the high school team your money will be refunded.
