BAYS basketball is dedicated to teaching the fundamental aspects of the game of basketball. Our Mission is to develop the skills of youth players, through instruction, giving them the skills necessary to succeed. We promote team play while building self-confidence. Through an all volunteer force we are able to offer two programs, Community and County.

Clinic - This is a coed group for kids ages 4 and 5 where they will play on Saturday's starting in December. The focus on this group is introducing kids to the sport and having fun! The kids will not be broken out into Teams for this, instead it will be two to three larger groups (depending on the number of registrations) which will be further broken out into skill stations each week. Buddy requests for each group will be honored for this age group.

Community - This is our in house community, or Rec, league and has two options based on age.

Coed - This is for kids ages 6 and 7 where they will practice and play on Saturday's starting in December. Buddy requests for Teams will be honored for this age group. There are no evaluations for this age group. 

8-13 Boys & Girls - This league has one practice during the week and one game on the weekends, broken out into 2 year age groups. This league is designed to play other kids in the BAYS program, not other teams in the county. We will do our best to honor buddy requests in these age groups, but may not always be able to. Evaluations for teams in this league will be held in late October.

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 and TJ Davis

Select - This is a new program that we are offering in conjunction with Broadneck High School, in the Spring and starts in 6th grade. This will be a highly competitive league where we will be playing in the leagues run by Anne Arundel County, Howard County and tournaments with AAU and other travel teams. There will be tryouts held in early to mid March. Please contact Bob Gregory.

We are very proud of the support we receive from the community. We are always looking to improve, so if you have any questions about the basketball program, please feel free to contact the commissioner. Thank you and we look forward to having your child play for BAYS.
