North Scott Boys Youth Basketball League
NSYB has a League for all 2nd-6th grade boys to participate, consisting of games which run from late October to early December on Monday nights at the North Scott Junior High.
​
Games are one hour and the teams typically consist of 8 to 10 boys per team that play against other teams of the same grade.
Usually there are 4 to 6 teams per grade level, depending on the size of the class.
Teams are split up as evenly as possible.
​
All boys 2nd-6th that register will be included the League.
​
In addition to playing on a League team, those who want a more competitive experience have the opportunity to attend tryouts to be considered for a travel team. Travel teams have additional fees that vary by team and are not included in the league registration fee.

League vs Travel
What is the difference between League and Travel?
The NSYB League is for all NS boys in 2nd-6th grade. League teams are divided evenly and play once a week at the same location.
Each week you will practice at the beginning your time and end with a game each week.
​
Travel teams require assessments for those who also want to play travel basketball. Travel basketball varies depending on the coach of each team, the tournaments you sign up for, and extra practice days each week. These teams often travel to different areas to play in a more competitive environment. These teams have additional costs to them to cover tournament and other fees associated with travel basketball. Unlike Youth Basketball League, not every player is guaranteed to make a travel team.
