Waitlist Information:


Once all registration spots in a specific division are filled, a waitlist for that division will be created.  You will not be asked to pay a registration fee when placed on the waitlist.  There are a variety of reasons why someone will be removed from the waitlist and added to a division/team.  When you are notified that you are removed from the waitlist to be added to a team, you will have to log onto our website (www.pvyb.org) and go to the cart where the registration balance will be shown.

You will have 24 hours to make payment to secure your spot on a team.  Failure to make payment in 24 hours will result in the open spot being offered to the next player on the waitlist and the player who failed to respond being moved to the end of the waitlist.



Additional Notes:

  • All rec basketball players will receive a reversible pinnie as their uniform.

  • Practice/game schedules are for all divisions are to be determined and will be sent once they are approved.  Schedules are subject to change due to gym availability and weather conditions.

  • PVYB will not be accepting play with, coach or carpool requests.  While we understand this may not be convenient to all, there are many factors that are considered when determining team placement and what may seem like a simple request has a domino effect with other teams.  In addition, the number of special requests can be inundating and slow the registration process.  Thank you for your understanding!
