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.

Practice/Game Scheduling Information:
Games are almost always played on weekends. Home games are typically played on Sunday afternoons at Dublin City Schools middle school gymnasiums. Away games are typically on Saturdays in neighboring communities (generally in and around the I-270 loop). Teams play 14 to 16 regular season games. Games begin in late November or early December and continue through mid-February. DYA Travel Basketball teams participate in COBA (Central Ohio Basketball Association).

Twice-weekly practices are held on weeknights at varying times ranging from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM and are 90 minutes in length. Practices are held at Dublin City Schools middle school and elementary school gymnasiums or FieldSports. Practices begin in late October or early November.

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