The best way to ensure your son or daughter is registered for the Spring or Fall seasons is to register as early as possible. The Spring season deadline is March 1; and the Fall season deadline is August 1. HYBA makes every possible attempt to place as many young people as possible.
Registration is $139.00 for Players, $600 for Travel Teams, and $700 for Recreation Teams.
HYBA’s enrollment is composed of young persons who have a genuine passion for basketball. HYBA’s level of play is better than any other recreation league in Maryland, detailed in the Summer 2001 issue of Youth Sports Magazine.
Both individual and team registrations are offered!
About half of HYBA is composed of individuals and the other half is composed of teams.
Leagues are broken into separate recreation and travel leagues.

The boys and girls clinics are a unique opportunity for young players (grades kindergarten, first, and second) to start the game of basketball without the worries of structured competitive play. While every other league in HYBA has two referees per game and follows league play (usually standard high school basketball rules or a variation thereof), the clinics are composed of volunteer coaches and designed to take the young players through the fundamentals of basketball through proven drills and practice games. The progress our young players make every year is astounding. Our clinic formula for our kindergarten, first, and second grade players continues to be successful for over thirty (30) years.
Enrolling your child in a higher Grade Program / Division is a personal choice for every Legal Guardian and Parent to make.
EXAMPLE: If your child is in Second (2) Grade, is a highly competitive basketball player compared to grade-peers, then HYBA allows for the placement of the child in the Third (3) Grade Program. To do so, during Player Registration, simply select Third (3) Grade as the Enrollment Grade.
PLEASE NOTE: The decision to enroll in a higher Grade Program can not be changed, once Spring or Fall Registration closes. If you have any questions about whether or not registering your child in a higher Grade Program / Division is the right decision, based on your child’s circumstances, please call us at (410)461-7694 and we are more than happy to share our multi-decade years experience.
