In-House
The in-house program is designed to offer a competitive environment for 3rd through 8th-grade students to play basketball. The purpose of the program is to advance the players' basketball skills and team play. No previous experience is required - players of all skill levels are welcome!
RYBA Announces New In-House Season Pilot Program
We're excited to introduce a new pilot program for the upcoming RYBA In-House Basketball season. The goal is simple: provide every player with a fun, competitive, and rewarding season that concludes with participation in the MYAS Grade State Rec Basketball Championships.
Why the Change?
This pilot program is designed to:
- Give every player the opportunity to participate in the MYAS Grade State Rec Tournament.
- Provide experience playing under Grade State Rec rules with certified officials before the tournament.
- Create balanced teams within each grade for the postseason portion of the season.
How the Season Works
Teams will begin the season by playing seven NMBL games. Following those games, teams will transition to the MYAS Grade State Rec format, playing three RYBA games with certified referees before competing in the MYAS Grade State Rec Tournament. Players still receive a full 10-game regular season, and while the season ends later than in previous years, it also starts later.
Team Restructuring
Following the seven-game NMBL schedule, RYBA will transition from the NMBL combined-grade divisions (3rd/4th, 5th/6th, and 7th/8th) to MYAS single-grade divisions. Teams will be restructured based on midseason player evaluations to create balanced teams within each grade.
What Families Should Expect
Practices begin the week of November 2, and the season concludes with the MYAS Grade State Rec Tournament on March 20–21. Participation in the tournament is included as part of every player's season.
As this is a pilot program, we'll gather feedback throughout the season and continue refining the experience for our players and families.
We can't wait to kick off another great season of RYBA basketball!

Volunteer Shift Requirement
Roseville Youth Basketball Association (RYBA) is a non-profit, entirely volunteer-run organization dedicated to providing affordable, high-quality opportunities for the Roseville community's youth to learn and play basketball. To help keep costs as low as possible for everyone, we ask that all families who are part of the RYBA community to help out by completing volunteer shifts throughout the season.
The volunteer requirement is one approximately 4-hour shift per player registered. Please note that some shifts may be slightly longer or shorter than 4 hours. A vast majority of our volunteer shifts will occur during the Roseville Boys Travel Basketball Tournament, which takes place on the February 6-7 weekend this season.
You will receive communication throughout the season about volunteer shift opportunities and how to claim them. RYBA Board Members, Head Coaches, and Assistant Coaches are not required to complete additional volunteer shifts. The RYBA community thanks you for taking on these positions.
At times throughout the season, you may be asked to run a score clock or keep a scorebook during your player's game. RYBA very much appreciates you helping out in this way; however, these duties cannot be used to fulfill a volunteer shift requirement. You may also be asked to help out at practices by your coaches, which is also much appreciated but does not count towards a volunteer shift requirement.
Only coaches who volunteer at the beginning of the season and complete a background check are exempt from fulfilling the volunteer shift requirement.
