2008 - 2009 NYAA BASKETBALL
The 5th/6th grade Boys Basketball program is
structured so players at all skill levels have a place to learn
and enjoy the game. We have travel teams and recreational
teams.
Our travel program is for higher skill level
players in the age group. Tryouts are required for these
teams. Players who do not make the travel team will play on
a recreational team. All players will participate in each
game and play for at least 30% of the total game minutes over the
course of the season. For the first time, NYAA will have two
travel teams.
-
Our Junior Cadet team will play in the Lehigh
Valley Knee-Hi Basketball League. This will be our
highest-skill level team.
-
Our JV travel team will play in the Lehigh Valley
JV League. This team is for 5th graders who do not make the
Junior Cadet team to prepare for the Junior Cadet team in
2009-2010.
Our recreational teams will also play against teams
of a similar skill level. Each player will play a minimum of
50% each and every game.
Tryout Information - Travel Teams
Tryouts will be held at the Kempton Recreational
Center at the following dates and times. It is recommended
that players trying out for a travel team attend both open
tryouts. THESE TRYOUTS ARE FOR THE TWO TRAVEL TEAMS ONLY.
If your son is intending to play recreational basketball, you will
find information on the recreational program listed below in the
Recreational Team section.

Program Information -- Recreational Teams
Our recreational teams will play within the NYAA
and/or outside the NYAA. Games are not guaranteed to be held
at Northwestern Middle School. Some traveling may be
necessary, i.e. Parkland, Allentown, Cetronia. Information
on the recreational program will be on the Basketball webpage of
the NYAA website when an adequate number of volunteer coaches are
available. We are also looking for a volunteer to coordinate
the recreational team program.
