The Travel League is a very competitive league where the best Girls and Boys of our towns play high skilled kids from surrounding towns in Central Massachusetts.  The SBC uses a try-out format to pick kids for the Travel League who are familiar with the rules of basketball, and whose skill levels place them in the same category as other kids in Central Mass. Once these teams are formed, we enter the teams into a league named the SCMYBL - South Central Mass Youth Basketball League (http://www.scmybl.net).  The mission statement for the SCMYBL is as follows:

To provide youth basketball players, in grades 4 through 8, living within the central MA area, an opportunity to participate in a competitive but wholesome, well organized, structured, travel basketball league. A travel league that promotes inter-town play, good sportsmanship, fair play, and parity between players and teams; a program that serves as an extension, in all facets possible, to town, school, and regionally organized youth basketball programs.

 From an organizational perspective, the primary goal of the SCMYBL travel basketball league is to assist in the development of youth basketball players at the local town level, thus serving, indirectly, as a feeder system for each town's local Middle and High School basketball programs.

From a coaching/parental perspective, the goal of the SCMYBL travel basketball league is to provide a positive basketball experience for youth in as many communities as possible within the South Central MA area, to enhance the development of youth through the sport of basketball, to enable youth to see the results of hard work and teamwork, and to help build personal character, with a focus on self esteem, self respect, and respect for others.

The Travel league teams will be practicing at least twice during the week and games will be played on Sundays (and possibly a Saturday or 2 during the season if scheduled, see your coach for details). The schedules of practice and game days will not be determined and published until teams have been set and a schedule of gym use has been agreed upon with the schools. Please be patient until this has been determined. 

Schedules will be communicated as soon as possible.
