Winter basketball for 5th-8th grade school teams

About Georgia Youth Basketball Association

The long term vision of the GYBA is to develop a true state wide post season middle school tournament to crown school based state champions in the state of Georgia.  GYBA will work with the various district middle school leagues to extend bids from the top teams in each league for the GYBA State Championships.   

In 2020 GYBA will also host a school based league open to 5th-8th grade school feeder teams whose leagues have been canceled.
