Online player registration for the 2021-22 Winter Basketball season is OPEN! Spaces fill up quickly, so be sure to register early to guarantee a space for your child. Registration will end on September 30th (or when divisions reach capacity).
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 (4th 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.
