OMGBA has a Traveling League for 5th through 8th Grade. Traveling teams tend to practice more, play more games (weekend tournaments), and play a higher level of competition. If your son or daughter is interested in traveling, register them for the proper House League and when the online registration asks about Traveling, answer "yes". There is no fee to tryout. Even if you don't say "yes" when you register, you can still have your son or daughter show up for tryouts (although we prefer knowing in advance so tryouts run smoother).

Those selected for traveling will have to pay an additional fee to cover the tournament entry fees. For more information, see the above information for the various house leagues and below for the various traveling leagues and tryout dates. If your child does not make a traveling team, they will already be signed up for the House League, which is a very strong program. OMGBA only has places for about 300 players in traveling but has about 1700 players in our House Program, which is an excellent program.
