The four events are: 

• Hot Shots

• Foul Shots

• 3-point Shoot-out (for 3rd/4th graders a ball-handling/layup competition)

• 2 on 2:  NOTE: players must be in the same grade and be on the same BYBA in-town team. No exceptions can be made on this.

The fine print:

• Although it is called Skills Night, skill is not mandatory. This is a fun event with a side of competition. 

• This event is open to all BYBA participants in grades 3-8. Children will only compete against players in their grade.

• Players may participate in all events. Please note that if your child participates in the 2 on 2 event, they may miss another event due to timing conflicts.

• Players can only win one trophy/award. If they win or are a runner-up in the 2 on 2 event, that will be the trophy/award they receive even if they win another event.

Playoffs begin for the grades 5-8 in-town basketball program on Feb. 4. Stay tuned for details!
