Frequently Asked Questions

Q  Where can I get registration forms?

A  Online registration is available for grades 1 - 12. 

 

Q  When does the recreational season start?

A  Practices for the 1st - 8th grade teams will begin in mid-November. Games begin on January 7th 2023.

 

Why haven't we heard from a coach yet?

A  Your coach will contact you by early November. If you are in the 9th - 12th grade, your coach will contact you after teams have been formed no later than late December. Grades 1 and 2 will have one weekly practice November through winter break and then move to a practice/game format on January 7th. 

 

Q  Can I request for my child to play with a specific coach?

A  In the interest of fairness, we do not honor any specific requests for a coach and/or teammates. Teams are formed first by school (if there is a coach and enough players), then by space available on other teams and/or proximity to players home school. If there is more than one team per school, then teams within that school will be formed randomly.

 

Q  How do I request a partial scholarship for my player?

A  You need to contact CYBA at  and request the CYBA 50% scholarship form. You must still sign up online. You will make your payment after the scholarship form has been received and put in the system. If you require a full scholarshipm please contact Daydreams Foundations.

 

Q  Can teams be preformed by players or coaches and play in CYBA?

 CYBA does not allow preformed teams to join the league. This is a recreational/instructional league. CYBA does attempt to keep players with other players from their school first and foremost.

 

Can I request to be on a specific team/coach?

A  Players have the option in elementary school to remain with their elementary school team. When players transition to middle school, CYBA reforms teams based on players home school.
