In-Town Rec
Boys Grades 3-8
Girls Grades 3-9
The intramural program, also known as REC Basketball, is open to every Walpole child registered regardless of skill level.
This program is the foundation of the entire WYBA program in that, because children develop physically, socially and emotionally at different rates, a child has the opportunity to play and develop skills and confidence without the stress and pressure of travel programs. Teams are selected via draft with the intent of developing equal competition throughout all levels.
This program begins the first weekend in December and concludes the first or second weekend of March (depending on playoffs). Those children participating in the intramural (REC) program must attend a 60-minute clinic in November. These clinics are required even for those children who may have tried out for a travel team but were not selected.
Players who register for the InTown Rec program have the option to try out for a travel team if they want. If they are not selected for a travel team, they will be placed on a team for the InTown Rec program.

InTown Rec League (Grades 3-8) Evaluation Day
InTown Rec League player evaluation sessions will be on Saturday November 15 at Walpole Middle School. Enter through the "Community Entrance" and proceed upstairs to the 2nd floor to the gymnasium.
This session is to evaluate all of the players in their age group prior to teams being assembled and is NOT a tryout. It is very important for players to attend these as they are a critical part of assembling the most balanced teams possible. Everyone who is registered for the InTown program will be placed on a team. If anyone cannot make the evaluation, they will automatically be placed on a team. Our goal is to make balanced teams for a fun, competitive season.

Travel Basketball

This is an extremely competitive program designed for those children interested in a higher level of competition. This program runs from approx. October 15 – March 15. Every team practices twice weekly for 90 minutes per practice with games on Sundays through the Metrowest Youth Basketball League. There is an additional fee for participating in this program, which will be outlined in the registration material.
Travel teams will consist of between 10-12 players per team. The board of directors reserves the right to review and adjust team roster sizes as it sees fit. With many kids trying out, it is a very difficult task selecting a team. Mistakes can be made; however, with the experienced coaching staff and selection committees, they do the best job they can. Bear in mind, everyone involved is a volunteer.
Eligibility for Metrowest Travel teams:
- Boys and Girls in grades 2 – 8 are eligible to tryout for a Metrowest team. Both Boys and Girls will tryout for the team of their grade level.
- You must be a resident of Walpole to have your child tryout for this program.
All players who are not selected for a travel team will automatically be placed on a team for the InTown Rec Program.
All players use the same registration form (InTown Rec and Travel). Players selected to a travel team will be billed the additional fee at that time.
