Mountaintop Youth Basketball League

MYBL Travel Program

Attention Coaches & Parents,

MYBL had a very successful first year in our travel program last year capped off by our 5-6^th grade girls team winning the 2^nd Annual Berwick Bulldawg Bash. We will continue this opportunity for our young athletes interested in playing outside of our recreational league. The travel program is designed for male and female basketball players in 3^rd thru 6^th grade. Players interested will also go through regular league assessments, drafted, and play on a travel recreational team within MYBL. Our goal is to provide better instruction to develop basketball skills and knowledge of our young athletes.

This cannot happen without having the right coaches to lead and teach our young athletes. Each team is dependent on volunteers to coach our children. We are asking anyone interested in coaching to attend our MYBL Travel Program meeting 5:00 on Saturday September 21^st at 5:00 Rice Township Pavilion. If you cannot make the meeting but are interested in coaching a travel team, please submit a letter to the MYBL board by Friday, September 27^th at myblpresident22@gmail.com and mdawg1jk@hotmail.com. In your letter indicate what position (Head Coach or Assistant Coach) and the age/gender of the grade you would like to coach. Your letter should say why you should be selected and your past/present experience. The MYBL board will review all applicant letters and select coaches for each grade level.

Anyone interested must circle YES on the MYBL registration form. Tryouts for boys interested will be held from 6:00-7:00 on October 10^th and girls 7:00-8:00 on October 10^th at Rice Elementary. Additional signup forms for players will be at the registration table during MYBL team draft nights if you didn’t register on the MYBL registration form.

Up front cost to participate in the MYBL travel program is $50, which will cover player uniforms and practice time during the season. MYBL will pay for a local tournament of the teams choosing. Additional costs of Recreational League play and tournaments will be on the parents of each basketball player. We are doing this to keep the cost as minimal as possible to participate and practice. If possible, we will group teams according to age together for practices so that drills and scrimmages can take place.

MYBL will provide a list of local leagues and tournaments to each coach. Some of the local leagues are the Kingston Recreational league that runs January thru March, Riverfront Sports Winter Basketball League in Scranton that runs end of November thru January and the Anthracite Basketball league that runs December thru January.

We look forward continuing this new opportunity for our young basketball players! If you have any questions, please contact Jeff Kuniegel at 570-840-0299.

Thanks,

Jeff Kuniegel

Division Information

The traditional draft procedure is attached here draft procedure for draft night.

Cages have been placed at both Fairview and Rice schools. They are locked and for MYBL use. You as coaches are entrusted with the access to these balls for use by the league. Please ensure all balls are returned and the cage is locked when you are finished. If you are not the last practice group or game group of the day, ensure the following coach plans to use the balls and she/he will lock them up. If you do not communicate with each other, err on the conservative side and lock up the balls at the end of your session. This is a service being provided by MYBL for all to use, if it gets abused or failure to comply results in no balls for the league it will be our own fault. We are all in this together. Let's all try to live by the motto, "treat everyone the way we would like to be treated."
