The purpose of the DYA Travel Basketball Program is to further the development of basketball players in 4th-6th grade who demonstrate basketball skills and abilities above the typical recreational league player by providing them with practice opportunities and games in a more competitive setting.

All Travel Basketball players must be in 4th, 5th, or 6th grade and reside within the limits of the Dublin City School District or within the City of Dublin to be eligible for league play and tournament participation.

Games are almost always scheduled on weekends. Home games are played on Sunday afternoons and early evenings primarily at Dublin City Schools middle school gymnasiums. Away games are typically on Saturdays. Teams play 14 to 16 regular season games. Games begin in early December and continue through mid-February.

Twice-weekly practices are held on weeknights at varying times ranging from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM and are 90 minutes in length. Practices are held at Dublin City Schools middle school and elementary school gymnasiums. Practices begin in late October.

All teams participate in at least three tournaments including the Dublin Holiday Tournament, the COBA (Central Ohio Basketball Association) Championship Tournament, and a third tournament selected by each team's coach.

Winter Break: Generally, there are no practices or games are scheduled during Winter Break from December 22 through January 5.

Coaches Needed: Dublin Youth Athletics is a volunteer organization of parents providing sports programs for kids. If you are able to serve as the head or assistant coach of your child's team, please answer the question on the registration form indicating that you're willing to coach your child's Travel Basketball team.
