2026 Winter Travel Team

Season: November 11, 2026 – February 28, 2027

Thank you for your interest in MYBA Hoops Travel Team! Our travel programs are for players looking to develop their skills at a competitive level. Our coaching staff provides a unique and effective development opportunity for each player.

We promote teamwork, respect, hard work, sportsmanship, and well-being. In partnership with parents, we expect each player to practice hard, be a good teammate, and be coachable. We teach offensive and defensive team basketball while continuing to improve individual fundamentals.
