Welcome to MAYAA Basketball
MAYAA Basketball is an instructional league for 1st through 6th grade boys and girls. Our mission is to teach them Sportsmanship, Leadership, to be a great Teammate and how to play basketball, But most of all to just have fun!!!
2020 UPDATE
Usually at this time we are starting to get ready for registrations, however, due to COVID we are unsure what the season holds for us. We have 2 things against us currently. Organized Basketball is not being allowed by the state of Vermont and the SVSU is not allowing us into the school buildings. Guidance on winter sports from the state will happen the middle of October, if basketball is allowed we will then need to wait and see if we will be allowed into the school buildings. Stay tuned for updates and stay safe
