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 interested 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.
