Pembroke Youth Basketball Updates 9/28
The information contained herein is intended to help keep everyone informed on Pembroke Youth Basketball (PYB) activities related to the 2021 / 2022 winter season. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present challenges, but PYB and the youth travel leagues are moving forward with all planning activities, with the intention of having a “normal” winter season.
Winter Season Options
PYB has two different options for the 2021 / 2022 winter season:
- Travel program (boys & girls in grades 3 – 8)
- In-Town Recreational program (boys & girls in grades 2 – 9)
CLICK HERE for additional information on the typical commitment / season for each program
Travel Program
Travel Team Tryouts
PYB travel team tryouts are scheduled for mid-October (Oct 12th – 22nd) at the Pembroke school gyms. Please CLICK HERE for days and times for each group.
Pre-Registration Process for Travel Team Players
Players must pre-register for tryouts or they will not be eligible to attend the tryout. There is no cost to pre-register and attend a travel team tryout, but everyone will be required to sign a waiver as part of the pre-registration process.
Application Process for Travel Team Head Coaches
If you are interested in being the head coach of a travel team for the 2021 / 2022 winter season, then please use the link below to complete a coaching application. The PYB board will be meeting next week to review all applications and vote on head travel team coaches.
In-Town Recreational Program
PYB is planning for a “normal” in-town recreational winter season this year, with all games and practices at the Pembroke school gyms. The In-Town registration process for players and coaches will open in November (separate registration links for the In-Town program will be published / communicated in November after the travel teams are established).
Summary
PYB is doing everything that we can to help ensure we have a “normal” winter season and to provide a safe environment for the kids to play basketball. We expect additional guidance and clarity in the coming weeks and will update this document as more information becomes available.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions.

John McAuliffe & Carlos Bairos

UPDATED: Travel Team Tryout Schedule for the 2021-22 Season 10/7/2021Read full... Each year Pembroke Youth Basketball (“PYB”) fields travel (select) teams. There are teams for grades 3 through 8 for both boys and girls. PYB’s goal is to have two teams at each grade level, but there is no guarantee of this. The ability to have two teams depends on the number of children who tryout and coaching. Please note that we may need to combine 3rd and 4th graders, if the numbers are low in these grades (historically we have had enough 3rd grade boys to field one 3rd grade travel team, but we have had to combine these grades on the girls side).
Tryouts are scheduled for mid-October at the Pembroke school gyms (see specific dates, times & locations for each grade in the chart below). There are two tryouts for each team, and we encourage the kids to attend both tryouts. Players must pre-register for tryouts or they will not be eligible to attend the tryout. There is no cost to pre-register and attend a travel team tryout, but everyone will be required to sign a waiver as part of the pre-registration process.
If your child cannot attend at least one of the tryouts, then please complete the pre-registration process and send an email to the Pembroke Youth Basketball Co-Presidents (president@pembrokebasketball.net), prior to the tryout. As long as these steps are completed prior to the tryout, then your child will be included in the evaluation process and will be considered for a travel team.
PYB and the youth travel leagues are moving forward with the intention of having a “normal” winter season. However, the youth travel leagues are still in the planning stages and have not yet communicated league costs and certain details for the season. As such, PYB has not yet established the travel fee for the 2021 / 2022 season; we expect the travel fee to be approximately $310 per player (similar to the 2019 / 2020 season).
