YOUTH SPORTS BASKETBALLFor girls and boys in grades 2-5 Once again this year we will start after the holidays! Let us take some of the stress out of December for you. We feel families have enough activities during the holidays, why add one more. Our registration will begin during the last two weeks in November, and teams will begin practice in January, just in time to beat the winter blues. Please read the information carefully. If you still have questions after you have read this information please feel free to call our Office. Our program will stress learning skills through lots of participation and having fun. We need more parents involved this year. We are optimistic about enrollment numbers, and we are planning on more teams with fewer players per team so everyone will get more playing time. However, in order to make this work we need participation from parents, older brothers, and sisters. Our program remains the lowest priced program in town. In order to keep the price down we need volunteers! We are in need of head and assistant coaches. Coaching is a very rewarding experience and is a great stress reliever. Come and get involved. Please help us make our program more successful. For coaching information call 433-1881. Registration Information We will begin taking registrations the week of November 17.

Welcome to another year of Austin Youth Basketball. Our program is committed to providing the best facilities, equipment and coaches possible so that you may experience the rewards of watching your son or daughter excel. Austin Youth Basketball is a non-profit corporation that develops a basketball program each year through its Board of Directors. The Board meets monthly to discuss equipment needs, tournament schedules, gym schedules and fund raisers. All coaches, board members and parents volunteer their time to make this organization a success. The Board is committed to providing the highest standards of safety and fun for your child. This will be the fourth year to run the in house program with support from high school coaches. Boys and girls in grades 5, 6, 7, and 8 will learn fundamental skills taught by local school coaches each Saturday. Depending on player numbers in these grades, AYB will field two levels of travelers teams to compete with schools in the surrounding area. The 5th and 6th grade will have evenly balanced teams. The 7th and 8th grades made have two different levels. We encourage all of the parents to attend our Saturday In House programs and travelers tournament games. This positive attention is good for the players and fun for the parents. Equipment Requirements Each player will be provided with a black and white numbered reversible jersey at the first scheduled in house league practice. This jersey will be returned at the end of the season. Suggested equipment: t-shirt, knee pads, mouth guard, double pair of socks, and tennis shoes.
