Boys travel is available to residents of the Silver Lake region (Kingston, Halifax and Plympton) in grades 4th through 8th.  Competitive tryouts are held in October and the leagues typically run from November to March.  The goal is to field 2 to 3 teams for each grade.    

Travel Team Cost

The cost to participate in the SLYB Travel program is $250 per player. Players who make a team will be required to purchase a uniform (~$40) through an online ordering site..  Uniforms can be used for multiple seasons.  Financial assistance and family discounts are available upon request and approval by the SLYB Board of Directors.  Please contact key contacts for additional details or click HERE to go to our Policies and Forms page to download the form.   

Team Selection Process

All players interested in playing on an SLYB travel league team must attend tryouts held in October.  Tryout dates, times and locations will be posted on this website. Teams will be formed based upon the players grade level for that season and talent level.   There are a limited number of roster spots and those that are not assigned to a team are encouraged to register in the SLYB Recreation League.  Click here to download the process: SLYB_Player_Selection_Process.doc

Practices and Games

Practices are held once or twice per week (typically twice per week before games start and once per week after games start), normally on week nights, but ultimately at the discretion of the individual coach.  One or two games are normally played per week, depending on the league entered.  League games can be held on both weekends and week nights though most leagues typically have games on weekends.  Each travel team for no additional cost will also be entered into 2 weekend tournaments, dates and times TBD.  Playoff games are also possible depending on team record and the individual leagues playoff rules.

Recreation program Policy

We do not require travel players to play in the recreation program but it is highly encouraged.
