Mission Statement
MYBA'S MISSION is to offer all Medfield youth a positive environment in which they can learn skills and play the game of basketball. Our program is offered to all boys and girls in grades 1 through 8. Everyone is encouraged to participate regardless of skill level.The MYBA coaching philosophy is to create an atmosphere for:
- learning and developing skills
- creating positive social interaction
- instilling teamwork
- creating a spirit of good sportsmanship
- improving physical well being and having fun.
Competitive games are played, as appropriate to each age level. Equal playing time for all participating in the In-Town program is mandatory and the opportunity for players to play a variety of positions is highly encouraged.
Another of our goals is to keep registration fees affordable. Our expenses include gym rental costs [including facilities personnel overtime] and equipment including team tee-shirts.
Fees are further based on the amount of gym time we can make available to each grade.
Financial hardship will not prevent any child from playing. Please know that you can freely discuss this, or any matter privately and in confidence with any MYBA Board Member.
Last year, registration went up to well over 750 boys and girls. This year we expect even moreto participate in M.Y.B.A. As such, we ask that you please respect our need to receive
All Registrations ON TIME, so that appropriate teams can be arranged, tee shirts purchased and gym time fairly allocated.
