The Perkiomen Valley Youth Basketball (PVYB) organization offers a competitive travel program to both girls and boys from grade 4 thru 9 as well as a Boys 3rd  grade travel team.

Registration for the Travel season begins on 9/1.  Travel tryout dates will run from 10/2 to 10/14.  Please check the box at registration if you interested in trying out for a travel team.  A travel basketball fee will be required in addition to the registration fee.

One of our major goals in our travel program is to expose these players to a more competitive and higher level development basketball league where we teach the fundamentals of the game of basketball (over and beyond a normal recreation league experience), focusing on the development of team concepts and ideals, as well as individual skills, This is a large commitment for players, coaches as well as parents. We strive to teach participants to compete to their highest level of ability, while learning to win with dignity and lose with class. We provide a safe and abuse-free environment and expect players, coaches and fans to be respectful of each other and all officials and opponents

Another goal of our travel programs is to get these players ready for our Perkiomen Valley High School & Middle School District teams so we are looking for players that live in the Perkiomen Valley School District.  We will not allow players to tryout that are from outside the Perkiomen Valley School District boundaries.

There is an additional charge to play travel, in addition to the regular PVYB registration fees, to handle the extra expenses of uniforms, gym time, referee fees and tournaments.

No player is guaranteed a spot on a team so we encouraged every player to make all the tryouts so that the coaches can evaluate them fairly.

PVYB looks for coaches that can meet the demanding time commitment, have strong basketball knowledge of the game from playing and/or coaching, and can organize and manage practices and games.  At least as important as that skill set is that the coach can keep winning games in perspective, handle varying levels of parental interest, create a team atmosphere, and understand the important impact a coach can have on a young player. The PVYB Board of Directors will pick / evaluate each coach as well as be very hands-on in selecting all travel team players.
