Osseo Maple Grove Basketball Association

OMGBA has limited access to full court, hardwood floors, and as such, we can only support up to 32 teams without altering our program in some manner.  In the past we typically have had 5 boys travel teams at each age level and 3 girls teams.

Unfortunately we don't always get an even distribution of players trying out at each grade and gender.  We look at historical tryout numbers, the talent level, and registration numbers prior to tryouts. We also take into consideration the available coaching pool. From this, we develop a plan.  However, we reserve the right to change the plan during tryouts based on actual tryout numbers and the related talent level.

We may add a team for a grade/gender if tryout numbers, talent level, and coaching pool support it.  Conversely, we may drop a team if the numbers, talent level, or coaching pool do not support it.

It has been communicated to OMGBA by the Maple Grove Acitivities Director that 7th or 8th graders can tryout for the varsity / junior varsity roster.  No 7th or 8th grader can displace a 9th grader or 10th grader since the 7th and 8th graders have programs to play on such as OMGBA traveling or house league teams.  In addition, if a 7th or 8th grader were to make a high school program, they are ineligible for any other traveling programs.
