  • Teams are also allowed a limited number of geographic exceptions for players who do not live within WWBA boundaries. If you live within the Central Bucks School District, you can play for a WWBBA travel team. If not, please contact travel director Mark Chelak at mark.chelak@yahoo.com to see if your son might be eligible for a geographic exception to play for a WWBBA travel team.
  • WWBBA Travel teams play in the ICBA travel league, which includes programs throughout Bucks and Montgomery counties.
  • Tryouts will start the week of October 6 and take approximately two weeks to complete. Practices will start in late October and ICBA league games will start in mid-to-late December and run through late February.
  • There is no cost to tryout for WWBBA travel, but you must be registered via this LINK.
  • Travel registration fees will be paid after teams are selected in October.
  • The WWBBA travel fee for this season will be $300 (volunteer opt-out fee $50 additional), which covers ICBA league fees and practice time. Uniforms and costs associated with tournaments your team might play will be additional. Returning players can wear their uniform from last year if it still fits.
  • At the conclusion of try-outs, players who make a team will be given online registration instructions and will have 48 hours to sign-up and pay their $300 fee. Players not signed-up within the given period will not be able to participate this season.
  • Players who do not make a travel team are encouraged to sign-up for our intramural program. There will be time for you to register your son for the WWBBA intramural program after travel teams are finalized.
  • New this year, WWBBA travel players are permitted to play in the WWBBA intramural league. If you want your son to play in the intramural league, in addition to playing for a WWBBA travel team, please register him through the link in the email you received recently about Intramural registration. The intramural registration fee is separate and in addition to the $300 travel fee. There is no discount for travel players who also play in our intramural league.
