Fees are based on the number of tournaments played, as well as practice gym fees.

First of all, thank you for your interest in RAYBA’s traveling basketball program! Our program is intended to provide the youth in the southern part of District 728 an opportunity to develop their basketball skills and prepare them for participation in the High School program.

RAYBA is a non-profit organization. Our operating capital comes from one of two sources; fees and fundraising. We’ve worked hard to become self sufficient and have been successful in keeping our fundraising activities within the program. We understand that in a growing community, fundraising can become overwhelming, so we don’t ask our families to help sell candy, holiday items, vendor cards or subscriptions as other organizations have elected to do.

Rather, we raise our funds by hosting basketball tournaments. Hosting a tournament is heavily dependent upon people; people to help monitor the gate, help prepare and sell concessions, help cover the scorer's tables and help in general organization of the event. Thanks to you and the other parents in the travel program, we were again successful and continued to gain the respect of MYAS and other communities as a tournament host!

Each year RAYBA will be hosting one or more tournaments. We again need help from our families in staffing the vital needs of the tournaments. This is the only volunteer / fundraising effort we ask of our travel players or their families. To ensure we have full participation from our families we ask each to provide a volunteer deposit. This deposit is simply held until after the volunteer requirements are fulfilled. After completing the required volunteer time at the tournament, your volunteer deposit check will be shredded. No travel parent checks are cashed, unless you do not fulfill your volunteer commitment.

For this season, there will be a boys tournament November 18-19, 2023, a girls tournament January 20-21, 2024 and a MYAS spring season tournament (dates TBD).

The only parties that are exempt to the volunteer deposits are RAYBA board members, head travel coaches and ONE assistant coach from each travel team.

Thank you again for your support and involvement. It is truly that support that has made this a very successful youth basketball program. And it is that involvement that will continue to establish RAYBA in the future.

To sign up for a volunteer position at one of the tournaments, simply go to the "Dibs" section of this website. Please make sure you are logged in under your SportsNGIN account, and then claim a volunteer position. You will be sent a confirmation email, as well a reminder email before the event.
