2022 - 2023 Travel team tryouts Basketball
The CGTB Travel Program offers Cranston girl basketball players the opportunity to play against the best players and teams across the state of Rhode Island, through the Rhode Island Youth Basketball Association. More importantly, the CGTB travel program offers girls the opportunity to raise their level of development and love of the game.
These teams are formed via tryouts where coaches will select 8-9 players per team. Tryouts that have enough players to form 2 teams will do so. All tryouts will be held at the Pastore Youth Center, 155 Gansett Avenue, Cranston, RI 02920. The schedule will be as follows:
4th Grade Travel Team Tryouts - will be held on October 16th from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
5th Grade Travel Team Tryouts - will be held on October 16th from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
6th Grade Travel Team Tryouts - will be held on October 16th from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
7th Grade Travel Team Tryouts - will be held on October 16th from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
8th Grade Travel Team Tryouts - will be held on October 16th from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Once the teams are selected, practices will then be held 1-2 times per week for 90 minutes at Pastore Youth Center on Monday, Wednesday and/or Friday. (Specific team schedules are TBD but younger teams will generally be 5:00 to 7:00 and older teams will be 7:00 to 9:00).
The RIYBA travel basketball season is scheduled to begin the first weekend of December and run through the middle of March. Teams will play in 12 league games followed by playoffs. Games will be played on weekends. This season RIYBA will continue to use a hybrid model where teams play their league schedule on designated weekends in December, January and February and can play in up to 4 tournaments hosted by other towns in Rhode Island on separate weekends during those same months. The tournaments will be fun events that do not count toward league standings but will ensure each team plays a minimum of 2 games with opportunities to advance out of pool play to elimination games with a champion being crowned at the end of the weekend.
Cost for our Travel Teams this year will be $175 for our 4th and 5th grade teams and $275 for 6th - 8th (paid once a player has made a team) which will cover practice time, equipment, league fees, tournament fees, insurance and a portion of our league operating expenses. This fee is non-refundable and must be paid up front. In the girls division of RIYBA girls are eligible to double roster depending on each team's need, with their grade level team and the grade above them. There is no extra fee if asked to double roster.
Scholarships may be available based on financial need.
New players would also need to purchase a uniform package which includes a personalized shooting shirt, a logo tee, personalized reversible game jersey and logo shorts. The cost for the full uniform package is approximately $85 and is not included in your travel team fee. Players looking for portions of this package can do so at the beginning of the season when orders are placed.
