BYBA Program
The Bellevue Youth Basketball Association is a youth basketball program for boys living within the Bellevue High School district. Provided we have enough qualified players, we will have two teams at each level from 4th through 8th grade. This is a select program with tryouts in late September for a season that runs from December through the beginning of March. BYBA is a competitive level of play for boys with basketball experience. Players are expected to have a good understanding of the game commensurate with their skill level.

- Promotes great sportsmanship and teamwork
