Just a reminder that Colt registration is open now until May 1st.  If you are currently in High School, you are eligible for this league.  Please sign up on the MYBA web page. Registering early is important so we know how many teams we are going to field in this league prior to our scheduling meeting on May 2nd.  If you sign up after May 1st, there is no guarantee we will have a spot.  Currently, there are 15 players registered, so we are looking for another 13-15 players to form two teams.

We will also be looking for at least one head coach to lead one of these teams.  Please step up, so you can be part of the process early and assist in scheduling and drafting of teams.

Currently, Colt games are due to start the week of May 27th, after memorial day.  We will be making decisions on teams and practices prior to May 13th.

If you have any questions, you can contact me below at the email provided.
