We will not be distributing or exchanging uniforms after December 11th.  If you are unable to attend on one of the above dates, you MUST send someone in your place to pick up your player's uniform.  If you cannot attend, please coordinate with your coach or your team mom make sure that your child receives a uniform.  

COACHES:

If you are a new coach, you will need to attend one of these pickup dates to receive your coach's bag.

If you are a returning coach and you need equipment, please email the Equipment Director at

PARENTS/PLAYERS:

ALL PLAYERS WILL NEED A NEW UNIFORM FOR 2021.  The style has changed so players cannot use a uniform from a previous season.  All players must have a GBA uniform to participate in games – no exceptions.  Do not put you child in jeopardy of missing games because they do not have a uniform.

• It is strongly encouraged that you bring your child with you to ensure proper fit
• You (or your designee) will need to have the name of your child's coach available when you pick up
• Be advised that players will not be allowed to select preferred jersey numbers

Our organization is comprised entirely of hard-working, dedicated volunteers, and we simply do not have the resources to accommodate individual uniform pickups/deliveries.  If you cannot make one of the above dates, please make arrangements with a coach, team mom/dad, teammate, friend, or family member to ensure that your player's uniform is picked up on time.  Any players needing special uniform pickup/exchanges after December 11th will incur a late pick-up fee.

Thank you,

GBA

Online player registration for the 2021-22 Winter Basketball season ended on September 30.  You may add your child to the waitlist and we will contact you if an opening becomes available.

Registration is open to all players interested in playing Recreational & Travel Basketball.

Our Recreational League is for Boys and Girls in the 2nd-12th grades.  Practices start the week after Thanksgiving, and games begin in early January.  The Rec season will end by mid-March. 

Our Travel League (Gainesville Travel) is for players in the 5th-8th grades (4^th graders can tryout to play up).  Travel Tryouts will begin in early October.  Travel practices start in mid-October and games begin in mid-November.  Players who do not make a Travel team will automatically be placed in the corresponding Rec division.

GBA has been in existence for over 29 years and we have over 2,000 families in our Recreation and Travel divisions.  Wonderful volunteers keep our organization running!  We are always looking for great coaches to help mold our players into great basketball athletes.  We will need about 175 volunteer Rec coaches this winter season. Coaches will have some flexibility in choosing their practice night, time, and location.  If you are interested in coaching Rec basketball this winter, please be sure to sign up as a coach during the open registration period.
