Mountaintop Youth Basketball League

Attention Coaches & Parents,

MYBL has and always will be dedicated to the development of our young athletes both on and off the court. We have fielded interest for our players to challenge themselves by playing in the Kingston Recreational League and tournaments. Therefore, we will be putting a program together for male and female basketball players in 4^th thru 6^th grade to play on travel teams this basketball season representing MYBL. Players selected will also go through regular league assessments, be drafted, and play on a travel recreational team within MYBL.

The first step in this journey is selecting the right coaches to lead and teach our young athletes. We are asking anyone interested in coaching a travel team to submit a letter to the MYBL board by Friday, October 6^th at myblpresident22@gmail.com and mdawg1jk@hotmail.com. Please indicate what position (Head Coach or Assistant Coach) and the age/gender of the grade you would like to coach. Your letter should indicate 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. Each team is dependent on volunteers to coach, as we cannot do this without the help of volunteers to teach our children.

After coaches are established, we will hold open tryouts for boys interested on October 16^th and girls interested on October 17^th. Coaches will be present to evaluate and select their travel teams. Based off the turnout and selection of players we will determine if we need to combine age groups or not. Teams will have a maximum of 10 players. A commitment letter for players selected will be sent out to parents following tryouts. Players and parents must be committed to our philosophy, expectations, rules, and policies of the MYBL Travel Program (TBP).

MYBL will provide a portion of the funds needed for player uniforms. Each team will have practice time during the week at MYBL and Kingston Recreational during their season. If possible, we will continue to group teams according to age together for practices so that drills and scrimmages can take place. Additional costs of the Kingston Recreational League and any tournaments will be on the parents of each basketball player. MYBL will provide a list of local tournaments to play in if interested.

Understand that player development is our #1 priority. Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Thanks,

Mountaintop Youth Basketball League
