2021 Season

Hello AYBA Families!

The AYBA is continuing to offer our “waitlist” only registration instead of our normal registration. The difference is we are not charging any upfront fees, but we are offering people an opportunity to sign up and have a spot when we are once again able to play.

Once we are allowed back into the gyms, and we have no idea when that might be, we will give everyone on our wait list first opportunity to move forward with the regular registration process.

Covid Precautions:

The AYBA has designed a plan to mitigate the risk of getting the virus. This plan follows the guidelines that similar programs are doing. More importantly, the AYBA will strictly adhere to the protocols and restrictions put forth by the school districts.

When will the Season Start:

Because the AYBA uses the gyms at our local middle and high schools, our season will not start until the school districts decide it is safe to let outside organizations like the AYBA back into the gyms. The school districts follow the county, state and CDC guidelines regarding the pandemic. It is entirely possible that the AYBA will not have a basketball program this winter and may have to wait until spring or even summer to play again.

Cost:

$195.00 for the season if we have one. We hope to have at least 8 games. This fee is for any season the AYBA has leading up to our next regular season, which would be Summer 2021. At that time this fee will expire, and we will reassess the registration fee for the summer season.

Will there be play-offs and All Stars:

Currently, the AYBA is not planning to have play-offs or the All-Star games to minimize the intermingling of players per our Covid guidelines.

Will there be Travel:

If the AYBA rec program happens, we will offer our Travel program as well.

In closure:

It’s important to state that the AYBA has no idea when - or even if - we’ll be able to have any kind of season in the coming months. We certainly hope so, and if we do, we will do everything in our power to ensure the health and safety of our players and their families.

We know that you, like all of us, are eager to get back to the courts and watch our kids play. We will get back out there, and when we do it will be joyous. Until that time, and on behalf of the entire AYBA Board of Directors, we hope everyone is and remains healthy!

AYBA Donates to Nutrition Programs

at LVUSD and OPUSD

Doing our Part

Since the inception of the Agoura Youth Basketball Association many years ago, the focus of the organization has been supporting the kids in our community in learning skills, teamwork and personal growth through the sport of basketball. But, during these times of Covid-19, with the organized playing of basketball not possible, the AYBA is benefiting the kids in the community in any way they can. During these crazy times of the pandemic, that benefit has taken on a completely different form.

With that, the AYBA Board unanimously voted to donate $10,000 to local schools to help make sure none of our kids go hungry.

$5000 went to Las Virgenes Unified School District to offset the costs of the FREE breakfast and lunch program. LVUSD has been offering packaged breakfast and lunch meals for all students, five days a week, from 9am to 12:00pm at the AE Wright Middle School location in Calabasas, where families can pick up daily meals for their children.

AYBA continues its mission to positively affect the community it serves through donations such as this, as well as improvements to various school site and athletic facilities.

An additional $5,000 went to Oak Park Unified School District to fortify their Nutrition Program.

Your students are our players, so on behalf of the entire AYBA Board, we are thrilled that we can help, and thankful for all the people helping to get food to those in need.
