Looks like a good weekend for basketball tryouts in Wellesley

The Wellesley Metrowest B-Ball League will be holding tryouts this weekend for B teams (Wellesley already has “A” teams) that will compete in the MetroWest Basketball League, which is made up of travel teams from 30+ communities in the suburban Boston area. The tryout schedule is outlined below; all tryouts will be held at Wellesley Middle School.

For those interested in trying out: if you have not already done so, please send an email to wellesley.metrowest.bball@gmail.com  indicating your child’s name, gender and grade. The program is  asking that each player pay a $10 tryout fee, in cash or check (payable to “Wellesley Metrowest B-Ball”), to help offset the costs. More info:  www.wellesleymetrowestbball.org

Games will be played Sundays from December through mid-March. If you have any questions or interest in coaching and/or helping out, please send email to wellesley.metrowest.bball@gmail.com.

Meanwhile, the local Wellesley-Framingham CYO Basketball programs at St. John and St. Paul (membership at these churches is not a requirement) have opened registration as well for the winter league. Games are played on Saturdays.
