Toms River Basketball Association: Welcome

TRBA LOGO
We are recreational basketball program for the youth of Toms River. Divisions are defined by school grades. We have boys and girls divisions ranging from 3rd grade through High School. In addition, we have a clinic division for 2nd grade boys and girls as well as a Challenger division for special needs children. We are an ALL volunteer organization. Our board members and coaches give freely of their time to provide the youth of Toms River an opportunity to participate in an organized recreational basketball program. Please be respectful when contacting board members as they have willingly provided their personal phone numbers and email addresses (Board/Division Leader Link) to assist parents with questions or problems.
The TRBA has a Zero Tolerance policy regarding player, coach, or spectator behavior.  Any player, coach or spectator who, in the opinion of the TRBA board, acts in a threatening manner toward another player, coach, spectator or official, will be BANNED from the TRBA.  NO EXCEPTIONS, NO REFUNDS. 
The TRBA believes in and encourages the principles of good sportsmanship. Verbal harassment of game officials, players, coaches and spectators WILL NOT be tolerated.  Anyone attending a TRBA event who speaks or behaves in such a manner will be asked to stop the offending behavior/language. If the behavior continues, the game will be stopped and the offender(s) will be asked to leave the building.  The game will not continue until the offender (s) leaves the building.  The referee has the authority to call a forfeiture of the game.  Repeat offenders will be BANNED from the TRBA.  NO EXCEPTIONS, NO REFUNDS.

                    TRBA 2012 SUMMER SESSIONS - REGISTER NOW!

The TRBA will be offering three recreational sessions this summer.

Current (as of May) 4th & 5th graders, current 6th and 7th graders and current 8th through 11th graders. All divisions will be co-ed, mixing both boys and girls. Girls in 8th Grade and above will have the option of playing in either the 6th & 7th grade division or in the 8th through 11th division. Please indicate which division you prefer in the comments section. 
 
The games will start in mid-June and run Mondays through Thursdays and some Fridays (if needed). Gyms locations have not yet been finalized. There will be two or three games per night. Game times will start at approximately 6pm. Each team will play two games per week.  The season will be over by the end of July.

Ideally, each team will consist of an equal number of players from each grade level. However, this depends on the mixture of registrations received. Our goal is to create fair and balanced teams, with an emphasis on fair play and sportsmanship. 

Each team will have one practice prior to start of games.  The practices will be held during the week prior to the first game.

We will provide TRBA t-shirts for the games. Black shorts are to be worn for all games.

On line registration will begin in early May. First come, first served. The number of players for each of these sessions will be LIMITED. Please register early to avoid being placed on the Waiting List (non-refundable $5.00 fee applied). Registrations for both players and coaches MUST be completed on line.  NO paper registrations will be accepted.
