MTYB Travel Program Information

Travel teams are provided for players and coaches to participate in more competitive leagues.

MTYB offers travel teams for:

• 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Boys
• 5th/6th and 7th/8th Grade Girls

Tryouts & Residency:
These teams will hold tryouts and make cuts, with a minimum of 8 players per team. All players must have a primary residence in Monroe Township (where the player lives and attends school). Players living outside Monroe Twp. are not eligible for MTYB travel teams—this is mandated and audited by SJBBL and ICBL, not MTYB. Proof of residency will be required during league registration.

Uniforms:
Full uniforms will be provided, with costs paid by the player’s parent or guardian.

League Participation:
Travel teams compete against other organizations within the South Jersey Basketball League (SJBBL) or ICBL.

Grade-Level Eligibility:

• Male players must play in their own grade level, unless MTYB does not offer that specific grade team. In that case, and only with board approval, the player may try out for the next grade level up—but never below. 3rd graders are not eligible to try out for the 4th grade team unless there are not enough 4th graders.
• Girls teams are typically formed as 5th/6th and 7th/8th grade divisions. 4th grade girls may have their own team if there are at least 8 competitive players. Girls must play within their grade level divisions.

All players must attend at least one travel tryout to be eligible for team selection.

Players may only play one year per school grade level. Any exceptions must be approved by the board.

If a player is ejected from any travel game (including tournaments), they will be suspended for the following game.

Important Registration Note

Registering for Travel Tryouts does NOT secure a spot in the Rec program. If you would like to guarantee a Rec spot, you must register and pay for Rec separately before divisions fill up.

If You Register for Rec and Later Make a Travel Team:
You will have two options:

• Play Both: Participate in both Rec and Travel. You’ll pay both fees ($130 for Rec and $295 for Travel).
• Switch to Travel Only: You can transfer your Rec registration fee toward Travel if you notify us before Rec teams are finalized.
