GRADE 5/6 DEVELOPMENT TEAM

In this league, our primary focus is to enhance players' skill levels while providing a fun and recreational environment. Each team participates in one weekly practice session, lasting one hour, and engages in one game per week, typically scheduled on Friday nights. When registering, players have the flexibility to choose their preferred team based on location, day, time, and coach, while adhering to the appropriate grade level guidelines established by TCYBA Registration policies. These policies prioritize returning players to ensure a smooth registration process.

 

There is no requirement to attend evaluation sessions. However, new players must play at their respective grade level and are not allowed to play at higher-grade levels. For instance, a new grade 4 player must participate in the 3/4 level and is not permitted to play in the 4/5 level. This policy ensures fair competition and aligns with the appropriate skill development for players within their grade level.

​

PARENT COACHES

The TCYBA depends on parent volunteers to coach teams within the league. In the grade 5/6 division, each team will require a minimum of 2 parents who can contribute to the academy sessions initially and eventually take on the responsibilities of team coaching in the new year. If you are interested and available to volunteer in this role, please visit our coaching page. Your involvement as a parent coach is greatly appreciated and plays a vital role in the success of the league.

The Tri-City Youth Basketball Association (TCYBA) was formed in 1999 and is a volunteer-driven registered not-for-profit that serves the youth of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody (Tri-Cities), New Westminster, Burnaby and surrounding areas in British Columbia, Canada. Currently, we have well over 2000 players, from Kindergarten to grade 12, playing in various divisions including both competitive Elite programs and recreational play. We offer academies, camps, official's development paths and coaching clinics in partnership with various local, provincial and national partners. Open to both boys and girls, the club operates out-of-school gyms across the Tri-City area and strives to ensure all youth that want to enjoy the sport have an opportunity to participate. We believe that youth sport is critical to a child's development and the opportunity to build skills for both the sport and for life should be available to all of our community's youth.
