Hello CYBL families! 

November is here and that means basketball is just around the corner! The CYBL Board of Directors is hard at work assembling teams and creating schedules for games and practices in all divisions.  

For Mini-Mite players in grades K&1: Your season starts Saturday, November 15th at McCarthy Middle School!
Mini-Mite Boys: 8:30-9:30am
Mini-Mite Girls: 9:45-10:45am

For all other players in grades 2-8: Rosters for all divisions are near completion! Thanks so much for your patience! We anticipate all rosters will be finalized by the weekend--if not the beginning of the week.  

Grade 2 Sessions begin Saturday, 12/6

Grades 3-8 Practices begin the week of 12/1 with games starting 12/6

IMPORTANT: BOYS TRAVEL SCHEDULE UPDATED 10/5/25

Travel Tryouts for the 25-26 Season are below.  

GIRLS: Players trying out for a Girls Travel Team must attend at least one night of tryouts.  Attending both nights is strongly encouraged. 

BOYS: Players trying out for a Boys Travel Team must attend both nights.  Missing one night may affect team selection.

Reminder: Players looking to tryout for Travel Basketball must be registered for the regular season before their tryout session. If a player is not selected for a travel team, they will be placed on an in-town team in the appropriate age division.

Playing on a CYBL Travel Team is a privilege and significant commitment for players and families.  Teams practice 2 nights a week and typically have 1-2 games each weekend, which may be scheduled on Fridays, Saturdays and/or Sundays. Games are a mix of home matchups in Chelmsford and away games in surrounding communities.  Attendance at practices and games is essential to player development, team chemistry and overall program success.

CYBL's goal is always to get as many kids as possible playing basketball in a safe, supportive and FUN environment while focusing on skill development, teamwork and sportsmanship.  As our players get older, we also introduce healthy competition to our programs so they can be as prepared as possible for their next level of play, whatever that might be! 

Based on past seasons, these are the divisions we anticipate offering this year. 
PLEASE NOTE: Divisions are subject to change based on registration numbers and gym availability! 

Picture Day is coming for ALL CYBL divisions (In-Town and Travel)! Save the date for team/individual pictures: January 2026. 

Pictures will be held in the McCarthy and Parker Cafeterias.  When you look at the schedule, please make sure you look for your team using both tabs at the bottom.  

The Team Picture Schedule will be out soon!

Pre-Ordering pictures is easy (and preferred to keep the day moving smoothly!).  Ordering information will be coming soon!

CYBL Rules:   https://www.cybl.net/page/show/4632088-cybl-rules-and-guidelines

CYBL has a no drop off policy.   All Children including Teens Must Be Accompanied By A Responsible Adult at All Times at CYBL events.  Due to problems with inappropriate behavior and vandalism,  the Chelmsford School Dept. and the CYBL Board of Directors have instituted a policy requiring the adult supervision of all youth attending CYBL Intramural and Travel games.

The season officially opens the first week of December for all age groups.   Important info:

• Travel tryouts will take place in mid- to late-September.  In order to participate in tryouts, a player must be registered. Tryouts are open to all players going into the 3rd-8th grades. 
• If a player makes a travel team, practices will begin in mid-October. For players who participate in a fall sport, that sport takes precedence until the season ends (but the player should plan on attending both nights of tryouts).
• Any player who does not make a travel team will automatically be placed in the appropriate Town league and put on a team.
• Mini-Mites are a Saturday only program. Mites, Cadets and Juniors have one practice each week and a game on Saturday.
