2024 - 2025 Tournament Schedule
NEW in 2024
-
HRBBA will now field two types of teams at the 3rd grade level:
-
One competitive 3rd grade "Tournament Team" with between 8-10 players that will play a tournament-only schedule at the highest skill level (A/B/C) determined during the evaluation process. Parents will be prompted to "opt in" during the registration process for their player to be considered for the Tournament Team. Players who are not selected for the Tournament Team will be considered for one of the MYAS League teams.
-
As many additional 3rd Grade MYAS League teams as possible with between 8-10 players each and skill levels evenly balanced between the teams.
-
Hopkins 2nd graders may try out for the 3rd grade program. HRBBA will not accept player transfers, residency waivers or "no opportunity" for players below 3rd grade.
