During the winter, SYA participates with dozens of other youth organizations in the Fairfax County Youth Basketball League (fcybl.org), a non-profit organization comprised of member youth clubs and organizations. Games take place on weekends at Fairfax County gyms with an occasional weeknight game.
SYA typically fields teams for Boys and Girls 5th grade to 8th grade. One of the many positive aspects of the SYA Travel program is its proven ability to prepare players to participate in high school level basketball.
The SYA Travel Program is intended for the advanced player — it is a competitive program. Tryouts are held where coaches select a limited number of players. Not all players are selected.
Tryout schedule, as well as Open Gym schedule, is posted on the main Basketball home page, (please scroll to the bottom).
All questions regarding SYA Travel Basketball should be directed to Josh Purdy at commissioner@syabasketball.org.
