Dear Burlington Families, 

We hope you all have had a successful start to the school year and all are staying healthy.  As you begin to make plans for upcoming fall and winter activities, we'd like to share that the BYBA is going forward with planning a travel basketball season again this year for 2021-2022. While specific details are still emerging based on available gym space, interest, and health/safety regulations, we would like to begin the process with tryout registration.  

Registration for tryouts will be opening online September 6, 2021.  These evaluations will take place at the Mount Hope School's Gym between 9/20- 10/5.  Specific group times will become available and shared with those who have registered online. They will be largely based on the ages and sizes of groups registered at each grade level.  This year, tryouts have a fee of $10 per player to cover the cost of the rented gym space and sanitation. 

Keeping safety in mind, we are asking families to comply with some guidelines.  In an effort to discourage people from congregating in close proximity, we ask that families not stay during the tryouts, but a BYBA representative will share some information about the evaluation and team selection process during drop-off/pick-up.  All participants are expected to be properly masked at all times.  There will be opportunities for a monitored mask/water break during the tryout.  Participants will be asked to sanitize as they enter the tryout session.  If after you register, you are unable to attend due to quarantine or illness, notify the BYBA Board and accommodations will be made to ensure all interested players are given the opportunity to try out. Students with symptoms or under quarantine will not be permitted.
