FALL/WINTER ELITE TEAM TRYOUTS

TCYBA is excited to announce tryouts for our 2025–26 Fall/Winter Elite Teams!

ABOUT THE TCYBA ELITE DIVISION

The Elite Division is designed for players who are looking to take their basketball skills to the next level in a more competitive and committed environment.

This program is best suited for athletes who:

• Have experience playing basketball

• Are ready to train and compete at a higher level

• Are willing to commit to regular practices and games

  
  

While fun, teamwork, and sportsmanship remain core values, players should be prepared for a greater focus on skill development, competition, and accountability.

New to Basketball?

If your child is just beginning their basketball journey, Elite tryouts may not be the best starting point. Our Development League is a better fit for building foundational skills in a more introductory setting.

Fees will be payable via credit card payment through our Team Snap registration system. As a registered Not-for-Profit organization, TCYBA charges only what it anticipates the overall costs of the Elite program will be. 

Age confirmation to participate is mandatory through National Sports ID. Any cost related to this process is the responsibility of the participant. 

***PLEASE NOTE*** Due to advance monetary commitments for league and tournament play, no refunds will be given for Elite team players. The only exception will be for a verified medical reason and if that player’s spot can then be filled on the roster at a prorated amount by another player designated

by the coach to be an Elite calibre player.

As Elite tryouts will occur at the same time as our Development League registration, we highly recommend all Development League players trying out still register to their Development League team during the appropriate phase to avoid losing a roster spot if not selected.

If selected, registration and fees will be transferred to the Elite team.
