Our In Town program is for girls and boys grades 3rd through 8th grade interested in a recreational league.  All registered players are placed on a team and players receive equal playing time in games.  We generally look to have mixed grade teams that practice once a week and play games once a week typically on Saturday.  The mixed grade teams are 3rd / 4th grade, 5th / 6th grade, and 7th / 8th grade.

The programs offered vary year to year based on the number of players registered.  In the past we have partnered with other local communities to form a Tri-Town league as well as partnered with Sudbury Youth Basketball to ensure players interested in a recreational league have options to participate.

Team Formation Guidelines

1. WYBA conducts evaluations with the goal of placing players at a level that will best support their development. All players registered for the Travel and In Town programs will be evaluated and given a recommendation for league placement.  All players interested in our In Town program will be placed on a team.
2. Evaluations are conducted to form even teams so that the league has fair competition.
3. The number of In Town teams formed is dependent on the number of registrations.
4. Teams are formed by combining grades 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8.
5. We will partner with other local towns where needed to reach participation levels that allow us to have a great development experience for our players.
