For coaches
How teams are picked
How tryouts are scored and how rosters are built, so every family knows the rules.
WYBA travel teams play in the MetroWest Basketball League. Tryouts are run to be fair and predictable.
Evaluation
- Evaluators score each player from 1 to 10 on basketball skills, positional attributes, attitude, and hustle.
- Each grade has two tryout sessions. Players must attend at least ¾ of the session minutes.
- Evaluators never score a grade and gender where they have a child trying out.
- Tryouts are closed to parents. A and B team coaching candidates may observe only.
- Results are announced 5–10 days after tryouts.
Building a roster
Teams carry 10–12 players.
- Automatic four. The top four ranked players are invited.
- One silver bullet. The coach picks one player from the remaining candidates.
- Remaining spots are filled from the top 50% of remaining ranked players, or the next 16 ranked players.
