While ERGYB does not organize spring teams, we encourage parents and coaches to do so.  It can seem a bit overwhelming, but the process is not difficult.  The best place to start is by registering for MYAS spring tournaments.  MYAS offers up the following useful tips for getting started:

a.   Get a commitment from your players or schedule tryouts.
b.    Find a coach (initiate a background check).
c.    Determine the number of tournaments you want to enter.
d.   Calculate your budget and determine your per player cost (see sample budget in the MYAS spring handbook).
e.   Collect fees from parents.
f.     Send in your MYAS tournament entries and fees or register online.
g.   Attend an MYAS Spring Basketball meeting.
h.   Find a practice site.
i.    Get equipment.
j.    Get uniforms.
k.   Secure insurance (USSSA is available if needed).
