Travel Basketball
The RYBA Travel Basketball Program provides an opportunity for 3rd-8th grade Boys and Girls to play competitive basketball against travel teams from surrounding communities.
Travel basketball is more time-intensive than In-House basketball. If your child is trying out for a travel basketball team, please be aware that travel basketball teams typically practice twice a week for 90 minutes and participate in 9 - 11 weekend tournaments during the season.
Not all players trying out will make a travel basketball team. In the event that a player does not make a travel team, RYBA will reach out about registering for our In-House program.
Ages
Athletes in 3rd-8th grade who reside or attend school in the Roseville High School attendance area as identified by the Roseville school district.
When
Travel basketball tryouts will be held on August 16 and 17 for the 2025/2026 season at Roseville Area Middle School in the lower gyms. Tryout attendance is required.

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 January 31 - February 2 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.
