Osseo Maple Grove Basketball Association

OMGBA offers a very competitive program for the 5th through 8th grade. The traveling program requires a commitment to the program and other teammates by attending most (if not all) practices and games.

Traveling Fees are over and above the house fees that are paid at the time of registration and include uniform shorts, 2 jerseys and the following paid tournaments:

• 5th Grade: Typically 10 paid tournaments
• 6th Grade: Typically 10 paid tournaments
• 7th Grade: Typically 11 paid tournaments
• 8th Grade: Typically 11 paid tournaments

Teams are based on gender and grade. Teams are formed through a tryout process.  Any player living in or attending a public school in the Osseo/Maple Grove attendance area is eligible to tryout.  Players from Osseo and Maple Grove High School are combined on traveling teams.

Anyone wishing to tryout for a traveling position must attend the tryouts for their grade and gender. As there are limited spots on traveling teams, not everyone that attends a tryout will make a team. There is no "playing up" or "playing down".

The season runs from late September (tryouts) thru mid March (state tournaments). Teams play games in tournaments sponsored by organizations around the Twin Cities. Games are played on Friday, Saturday, and Sundays at Twin Cities facilities and sometimes at out state facilities. There is generally two practices a week (depending on school availability). Practices are 1 to 2 hours long and can be held on any week day night from 6:00pm to 10:00pm.

Please see the bottom of the Key Dates page for actual tryout dates, times and locations.

Check out our Traveling Team Tryout 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. While every effort is taken to ensure correctness, this is subject to change without notice.
