Please scroll down to see information regarding SYA Travel League Basketball
Registration for SYA Winter House League Basketball is open. Register before November 1st in order to avoid the $25 late fee. SYA is committed to providing a healthy and safe atmosphere for players of all skill levels. All practices and games take place in local Clifton/Centreville school gyms.
Grades 2nd-12th – Fees are $180 for the season plus $10.00 Fairfax County User fee. If you are not a resident of Fairfax County there is an additional $50 out of county fee. The season will begin in November with open gyms followed by mandatory skills evaluations (grades 3rd-12th) on Sat, December 7th. Teams practice on weeknights one practice per week and have one game on Saturdays (high school & middle school leagues will also play on Sundays). Team practices will begin mid-December.
K/1st Graders: The K/1st Grade program is based on feedback from our parents, along with observations of our program over the last several years. At this young age, most of our participants are either brand new to the game of basketball or still learning the game while developing their eye/hand coordination. We want all kids who try our basketball program at this very young level, to learn the game and help develop their skills so that they can fully enjoy the game of basketball.
The program is limited to the first 80 players who register and pay (fees will be $145 per player + Fairfax County player fee of $10.00). Instructors will focus on teaching the four primary skill sets of dribbling, passing, shooting and defense. The program will be one hour per week with a ratio of 5 kids to one instructor. The season will begin after the holidays in January and run for about 8 weeks.
For additional information, please reach out to the Commissioner for your child’s age group here.
We are always in need of volunteers. If you are interested in helping out, please reach out to Josh Purdy at [email protected].
Tryouts for SYA Winter Travel Basketball will held the very beginning of October. The tryout schedule will be posted below, as we have information. In order to be considered for a travel team, players must attend at least two tryouts. Open gyms will begin mid-Sept and are posted here. Open gyms are an opportunity for players considering trying out for a travel team to come out, meet the coaches, and experience basketball drills and scrimmages. It is also an opportunity for travel coaches to get to meet the players who will be trying out. In order to tryout, players must register for “Basketball – Travel Tryouts – Winter” at syasports.org. There is no cost for registration for Travel Basketball Tryouts.
Travel Coach contact info can be found here.
In addition to open gyms, SYA will be offering complimentary training to players who are registered for “SYA Travel Tryouts”. Please see the “Clinics/Open Gyms” tab here for dates and times.
Teams will be formed and practices will begin early/mid October. Games will begin late November and continue through the first week of March with a two week break during the FCPS winter break. SYA participates in the Fairfax County Youth Basketball League,FCYBL Games will be held in Fairfax County school gyms on weekends. It should be noted that Travel League games will not necessarily be in the local Centreville area. Please email any questions you might have to Josh Purdy at [email protected].
