The Norwood Basketball Association is excited to announce tryouts for its 2024-25 travel season.

In anticipation of a full MetroWest Basketball season to begin mid-October the NBA is planning to participate with boys and girls teams in grades 4-8. The season typically runs to the third week of March.

The number of teams at each grade will depend on tryout attendance and interest as well as the ability to find a coach.   The hope is for two teams at each grade but there is no guarantee.

 Fee for travel is $250/player with a family maximum of $500.  Players will not pay until teams are formed. Those participants selected for teams will receive payment instructions.  Payments must be completed before the first practice, unless other arrangements are made with the registrar.  Any player with a past due balance will be required to pay prior to tryouts to participate.

Uniforms for first time players are paid for by NBA. 

Any other returning player who needs a new uniform must order one at their own expense.
