All teams ages 6 and up have been released. 4 & 5 year old clinics will be released by Friday 18 November. Practices for all teams 8 and up have begun. Basketball for ages 4-7 will begin early December.
Welcome to the Broadneck Youth Sports website. If you are looking for information about the basketball program, please use the navigation on the left hand side for your particular age level.
Our Basketball Programs Include:
· Coed Basketball (4-7)
· Community Basketball (8-17)
· County Basketball (8-17)
Clinic - This is a coed group for kids ages 4 and 5 where they will play on Saturday's starting in December. The focus on this group is introducing kids to the sport and having fun! The kids will not be broken out into Teams for this, instead it will be two to three larger groups (depending on the number of registrations) which will be further broken out into skill stations each week. Buddy requests for each group will be honored for this age group.
Coed - This is for kids ages 6 and 7 where they will practice and play on Saturday's starting in December. Buddy requests for Teams will be honored for this age group.
Community - This is our in house community league where there will be one practice during the week and one game on the weekends for boys and girls ages 8-13, broken out into 2 year age groups. This league is designed to play other kids in the BAYS program, not other teams in the county. We will do our best to honor buddy requests in these age groups, but may not always be able to. Evaluations for teams in this league will be held in late October.
County - This is a competitive league where we will be playing in the league run by Anne Arundel County Park and Rec for boys and girls ages 8-17. Some of the older teams will also have an opportunity to participate in other leagues, or tournaments, during the winter season. There will be tryouts held in mid October. If you are unsure whether to play County or Community, please register for County and tryout. If your son or daughter tries out for County and does not make a County team, they will be automatically assigned to a Community team, and you will be refunded the difference in registration costs. While BAYS does run tryouts to ensure that every kid receives a fair evaluation, Coaches do have a say in the final roster. If anyone is interested in coaching a county team and would like more information on how teams are developed, please contact Bob Gregory ([email protected]) and TJ Davis ([email protected]).
The age bracket your child will play in is based on their age as of September 1st! Anne Arundel County allows you to play up into County basketball as long as your son or daughter is 8 years old by the start of the first game, which is typically around 12/1, but no telling when that'll be this year. If your child is born between 9/1/14 and 11/30/14 AND you are interetested in him or her trying out for an 8U county team, please sign up for the 6-7 league and send an email to [email protected] and we'll make sure that they get to try out for the 8U team.

County Tryouts:
BAYS policy is to run evaluations for all county (travel) teams so that all kids have an opportunity to make a team if their skills support it. Tryouts will be scheduled the weeks of 10 & 17 October.
Community Evaluations:
BAYS offers an internal program where boys and girls get to play against their friends on the Peninsula. If you tryout for and don't make a County team, you will automatically be placed in our Community league. Evaluations will be held the week of 24 October.
