MABA’s travel basketball program is Medway’s more competitive basketball offering and offers players the chance to grow their skills and compete with their teammates against other towns.

Travel (Grades 4-8)

  • Two 75-minute practices per week beginning in November
  • One pre-season tournament / jamboree (usually in mid-late November)
  • One game per week (on Sundays) beginning in December
  • 12 regular season games against other towns participating in the Metrowest League
  • Single elimination playoffs
  • For grades 5-8, tryouts/evaluations will be held to determine a player’s roster placement. Players will be assigned to a roster that is aligned with their skill-level (i.e., A-team, B-team, etc) (see “additional details section for more information)
  • For grade 4, players will be evaluated, but the rosters will be balanced to ensure an equal spread of talent

Third Grade Travel

  • Slightly shorter season (~10 games)
  • Games are 4 vs 4 instead of 5 v 5 and on 8 foot hoops
  • One practice per week (typically on Friday evenings)
  • Note: Due to gym-time constraints, we have a maximum number of roster spots (24) for third grade. We will accept players in the order in which they are registered, so we encourage you to register in a timely fashion.
  • With this being the first year of travel basketball for this group, players will be evaluated during the first few weeks of practice and then will be divided into evenly balanced teams.
