Greetings from GBA!

We hope that you and your family are enjoying the last days of summer.  Just a quick reminder that Winter League registration is opening early this year.  Online registration will begin on August 15th and will end at midnight on September 15th.  As a reminder, spaces fill up quickly in most divisions, so be sure to register sooner rather than later.  Once a division reaches capacity, we will maintain a waitlist and then contact players if an opening becomes available.

Our Recreational League is for Boys and Girls in the 2nd-12th grades.  Player assessments will take place in late September.  Practices begin 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 (advanced 4th graders may try out to play on a 5th grade team).  Travel Tryouts will take place in late September.  Travel practices start in mid-October and games begin in mid-November.  Players who try out and do not make a Travel team will be automatically placed in the corresponding Rec division.

GBA has been in existence for over 30 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 approximately 150 volunteer coaches for a successful winter season.  Coaches have some flexibility in choosing their practice night and location.  If you would like to volunteer your time as a Rec coach this winter, be sure to sign up when you register your child(ren). This season, head coaches are eligible to receive a discount of $50 off the registration fee of the child they are coaching.

For more information, please review the Recreational FAQs and Travel FAQs sections on our website.  If you have questions that are not answered there, please feel free to contact the League Administrator.

Thank you,

GBA
