4th - 8th Grade Travel Basketball Registration Information
OMGBA has a Traveling League for 4th through 8th Grade. Traveling teams tend to pick up extra practice time when available, 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". Your initial fee will cover the tryout.
**If your son/daughter makes a travel team, you will need to pay an additional fee for tournaments and volunteer at our home tournament.**
**If your son/daughter makes a travel team and decides not to play, there will be NO refund and that player will not be able to participate in OMGBA for the current and following year.**
**OMGBA uses the DIBS Volunteer System for volunteer requirements for 4th - 8th Grade Traveling basketball families. ALL FAMILIES ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN UP. For more information see the "Volunteer Info" tab .**
Boys and Girls Traveling Pictures will be taken Saturday of their home tournament at MGMS between 8am & 6pm in Gym C. Time determined by coach.
Clinic for 4th Graders (All skills for the tryout will be reviewed at this clinic)
Clinics for 5th - 8th Graders (There will be different skills reviewed at each clinic so it is best to attend all 3)
Clinics are held at the MGMS & MGCG (Behind Maple Grove Middle)
Check out our Traveling Team Guidelines. Our process of picking players is more transparent than ever. If you have further questions regarding this program please contact the President or the Traveling Commissioner on the contacts page.
NEW THIS YEAR – In an effort to provide a better tryout experience for our players and allow our evaluators to focus more time on those that will make a travel team, we are planning to limit the number or players returning on day 2 of tryouts. If players score low in the skills and small sided scrimmages on day 1 to the point, we know they will be best served in the house league program, we will not ask them to return on day 2. Parents will need to check the website the morning following the 1st night of tryouts to see if their child should come back for night 2. We will also have this posted at the doors of MGCG's before night two of tryouts for that grade level.
See video below if you need to miss one of the clinics.
Those selected for a travel team will pay an additional fee to cover the tournament entry costs. Once assigned to a travel team, you must play on that team or forfeit all initial fees paid. If your child does not make a traveling team, they will already be signed up for the House League. OMGBA only has places for about 300 players in traveling but has about 2000 players in our House Program, which is an excellent program.
**A MANDATORY PARENT/GUARDIAN MUST ATTEND PARENT MEETING. A parent meeting for each grade level will take place on the first day of that grade level tryout at the tryout start time. Parent meeting will take about 20 minutes.**
All tryouts will be held at the Maple Grove Community Gym behind Maple Grove Middle School.
4th Grade Traveling League Tryouts: (Must attend both nights)

4th Grade Traveling Basketball Information
At the March 2024 meeting the OMGBA Board voted to expand 4th grade travel basketball by having up to 4 boys full year teams, and up to 2 girls full year teams; with no half-year teams anymore. All 4th grade participants will play either full-year travel, or in the House program. The number of teams formed will be determined by registration/tryout numbers, and the overall ability level of those attending tryouts.
Nearly every youth basketball association now offers a full-season travel option for 4th grade. The uniqueness of OMGBA means this new opportunity may not look the same as it does in other communities, but our goal is to enhance the experience for both Travel and House players in our program – and we feel the changes to our 4th grade programming will accomplish this goal.
Upon completion of each tryout, the Traveling Commissioner will review the teams to ensure OMGBA's selection processes were followed and will post them here. Our goal is to complete this process within 24 hours of the completion of tryouts, but please allow up to 48 hours before inquiring.
If your tryout number and initials do not appear under one of the traveling teams below, please plan to attend to house league draft.
If you have been placed on a travel team, you MUST play on that team. There are NO refunds once you make a team.
