Dear Parents,

We are approaching the time of year when CYBA would normally open registration for Travel Basketball - but as you know, this year has been anything but normal. Since an abrupt end to the 2019-2020 season in March, the Board of Directors has been meeting regularly and actively monitoring federal and state guidance on COVID-19 and youth sports. 

Based on recent July 6th guidance, issued by the State of Massachusetts (https://www.mass.gov/doc/safety-standards-for-youth-and-adult-amateur-sports-activities-phase-iii-step-1/download) we have determined, as a Board, that it is premature to open registration for Travel Basketball at this time as it is unclear whether CYBA will be able to have Travel and/or Intown basketball seasons in the fall/winter, in a format similar to years past.  While The Board of Directors continues to monitor evolving guidance and recommendations,  we are also exploring potential alternative formats for our programs under various scenarios.  Please be assured that when we proceed with a program of any sort, player safety will be front of mind.   

We expect to have another update before the end of summer.  

Best regards,

The CYBA Board of Directors
