Attleboro competes in the Metrowest Basketball League, Massachusetts' largest travel basketball organization.  Travel basketball is known to have a higher level of competitiveness than recreational basketball.  Any players considering making the jump to a traveling team should be made aware of the following:

• A larger financial commitment in addition to recreation league fees.

• A larger time commitment.  Expect two nights per week for practice, and games on weekends and the occasional weekday.

• The expectation that Metrowest Travel is the highest priority sport and team during the Metrowest Travel season.  All other sports and basketball leagues must be secondary to Metrowest Travel commitments.

• The Attleboro Metrowest travel teams and rec leagues are limited to Attleboro residents only.  Non-Attleboro residents are not allowed to tryout or play for the AYBA teams.  Proof of residency will sometimes be requested for players to ensure compliance with these standards.  

- For boys and girls grades 4-8 (Note: *3rd graders are welcome to try out for 4th grade Metrowest teams).

- Metrowest basketball is highly competitive and plays in a travel league of over 100 towns in Eastern Massachusetts. These teams are for more advanced players and require tryouts to make a team.

- Practices are two days during the week (typically Wed & Thu) beginning the first week of November.

- Optional practices will be in October (dates/times TBD).

- Games are on Sundays likely beginning typically first week in December and continuing with playoffs until mid-March.

- Metrowest tryouts are typically at the end of September for both boys and girls. Players will need to attend both days.

- Rec and Metro leagues are structured so players can play in both without practice/game conflicts.

- No fee to register for tryouts; once selected to a team, the fee is $295 

-All dates will be announced in late August.
