WJBL Travel Program, 2nd - 8th
Our Travel program is for Weymouth boys in grades 2-8 that are looking for a more intense season than that provided by our Town program.
Who
This program is for Weymouth boys. We field teams for 3rd through 8th graders. Some grades may have two teams, depending upon a number of factors. Second graders are welcome to try out for the 3rd grade team.
When
The season begins with tryouts. Practices start in mid-November and the season ends with March playoffs.
Where
Home games are on Saturdays at the SGT Chesna Gym at Chapman Jr. High. Away games are at South Shore towns from Plymouth to Quincy. Away games are usually (but not always) on Saturdays.
Practices
Practices are weekday evenings. Most will be at Weymouth school gyms, but we are still sorting out the locations. Times, days and places will be worked out once teams are established.
Games
Teams will play in the South Shore Youth Basketball League. They will play each opponent twice for 12-16 games.
Most teams will play half of their games at home and half in the opponents’ gyms. The third grade teams are an exception, as their games will be at Starland in Hanover.
Jerseys
A kit of jersey + shorts must be purchased separately by the family. We will send that information after teams are formed. It will cost about $100. If your player has a uniform from last year that can be used this year too. The new uniforms are similar to the old uniforms.
New this year! The registration fee includes a personalized long sleeve shooter shirt for each Travel player and coach.
Cost
The fee for the season is $325 and a new uniform will be about $100. There are no other costs.
We strive to keep our fees as low as possible by fundraising. This year we are offering a payment plan to everyone.
Finally, all Travel players get to play in our popular Town League for 1/2 price ($80 instead of $160).
Please email WeymouthJuniorBasketball@gmail.com if you have a concern about cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my old LeagueApps registration account still work?
No! We have made improvements to our registration system. We now use Crossbar (this website). We rolled it out over the summer to positive feedback. Your old LeagueApps account will not work!
You will need to create a Crossbar account for all things WJBL. If you already have one from the Summer League please continue using that one!
When will we know if my son made a team?
We are placing a priority on timely notifications. Everyone will be notified one way or another by October 7th.
Does everyone make a team?
We Would love to have a roster spot for every interested player. But several factors, including the Weymouth gym shortage, make this impossible. The WJBL Board sincerely hopes not being selected does not discourage young players. We know of many players that went on to have great Travel seasons even after not making a team one year. We also have a full season of Town games for grades 4-12 and our new Junior Wildcat League for 3rd graders. No experience or ability needed for any non-Travel team.
