WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?

Administrative Oversight:

The Beverly Girls Travel Basketball program is overseen by Matt Mariano and CO Varnes, who serves as the Program Directors, with assistance from the BGTB Program Board of Directors. All program-wide decisions will be brought to the Program Board for discussion, review, and vote. Additional duties performed by the Program Board include, but are not limited to:

• Practice gym/time scheduling 

• Contact with the River Valley League regarding game schedule 

• Coordination of referees for games/scrimmages 

• Administrative duties; insurance, budget and finance management, contact information management, scheduling, tryouts, custodial fees, coordination of the purchase of team apparel (uniforms, BGTB gear), etc. 

• Disciplinary issues with coaches, players, and parents/guardians/caregivers

Tryouts and Cuts: 

2022 TRYOUTS SCHEDULE: 

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18:
5:45pm-7:15pm - 5th Graders
7:30pm-9pm - 7th Graders

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19:
5:45pm-7:15pm - 6th Graders
7:30pm-9pm - 8th Graders

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20:
5:45pm-7:15pm - 4th Graders
7:30pm-9pm - EXTRA TRYOUT

Tryouts will consist of skill stations, drill work, small side-games, and scrimmages. Players will be evaluated by a committee of coaches (both BGTB and outside evaluators) and assigned a score based on their performance. In addition to their performance during stations, drill work, small side-games, and scrimmages, players will also be evaluated on their overall attitude, coachability, effort level, and work ethic. 

We anticipate having the following opportunities at each grade level for the 2022-2023 season: 4th Grade (1 team), 5th Grade (2 teams), 6th Grade (2 teams), 7th Grade (2 teams), and 8th Grade (2 teams). Final determinations on the viability of additional teams per grade level will be based on the number of girls at tryouts as well as the skill level of each respective group. All final decisions will be made by the Program Director and respective grade team head coaches. Making cuts to field competitive teams (in both talent and number of players) remains part of our program's operating procedure. Players will be notified directly if they have made the team or did not make the team, by the Program Director.

Coaches: 

Each team has one (1) head coach and up to two (2) assistant coaches. Individuals who are interested in serving as coaches are encouraged to email BeverlyMAGirlsTravelBasketball@gmail.com. All coaches are subject to a CORI/SORI background check prior to the start of the season. 

Code of Conduct: 

Once teams are formed for the season, all coaches, parents/guardians/caregivers, and players in the BGTB program will be given a "Code of Conduct" that they will be expected to read, understand, sign, and abide by throughout the season. A signed copy will be kept by the Program Board.
