The SAEBA offers two programs to the youth of the Shaler Area community. The SAEBA provides an In-house program for both boys and girls in grades 1 through 6 and a competitive travel program for boys and girls in grades 3 through 6.

Registration Information for players interested in the Travel Program:
If you and your child are interested in the Travel program, please note that there will be a tryout process to make a travel team. This tryout will be held in mid-October. The tryout will be run by outside, independent evaluators that will assess each player trying out. Following the tryout, the travel teams will be created and players who make the team will be notified. If you register for the travel program, there will not be any fees collected until after tryouts and the teams are created. If your child makes a travel team, the registration payment for the Travel program will be collected before the season begins on October 26, 2024. If your child does not make a travel team, your child will be automatically moved to the In-House program, and you can decide to accept that placement and make payment at the In-House registration rate before the In-House season starts.

Registration Information for players interested in the In-House Program:
If you and your child are interested in the In-House program, you can simply sign your child up for the program and payment will be collected following the completion of the Travel program’s tryout process in mid-October and teams are assigned. There is not a tryout process for In-House players. All In-House practices/games will be held within the Shaler Area community and players will play against fellow Shaler Area players. Our In-house program is scheduled to begin on Saturday November 2, 2024.

Fundraising Information:
There will be one fundraising event for every family (account) registered with the SAEBA. If a family has more than 1 child registering, they will only have 1 fundraising fee. The fundraising fee is $50. When the season begins, each family will be provided five tickets to sell for $10 each. By selling the tickets, you will have the opportunity to recoup your money. Ticket stubs will be the only thing collected at a later date. More information about the ticket raffle will be provided closer to the start of the season.

Interested in Coaching:
If you are interested in coaching a Travel team or In-House team, please visit complete a coaching application under the Coaches Corner Tab on this website. Interested coaches will have to complete the application and provide PA State Criminal and PA Child Abuse clearances. These clearances are free for volunteers. Coaching applications will be due by October 11, 2024 for travel and October 23, 2024 for In-House. Submission of a coaching application does not guarantee a coaching position. All submissions will be reviewed by the SAEBA board.

Open Gym Opportunities:
There will be two open gym opportunities for any child that has registered for either SAEBA program during the first two weeks of October. More information will be shared through email and will be posted on the organizations Facebook page as gym permits are processed. 

For updates on SAEBA operations and the upcoming season, please check your email, follow the organization’s Facebook page, or check this website.

SAEBA 3rd-6th Grade Travel 2024-2025

The SABEA travel basketball program provides an opportunity for the youth in the Shaler Area School District to engage in a more competitive basketball experience. Players interested in the travel program will need to register for the travel program and attend a mandatory tryout. At this tryout players will be assessed by independent evaluators that will rank and select the SAEBA travel players. In the event that a player is not selected for a travel team, you will receive an email informing you along with an invitation to join join the in-house program.

What to expect from the SAEBA Travel Program:

Season Length: Last week of October through March.

Games: Teams will play in leagues that compete against other school district travel teams in the local area. In addition to league play, teams will also play in local area tournaments. 

Practice: Players should expect at minimum two practices a week until game play begins. The option for more practices can be added throughout the season based on gym availability.

Playing Time*** - During league games, coaches will do their best to provide equal playing time. In tournament pool play games, coaches will do their best to provide equal playing time. In league playoffs or tournament playoffs, equal playing time is not guaranteed.

Communication: Coaches will be urged to use the Dick's Sporting Goods GameChanger app to communicate with parents and players about practice times, game times, and any other pertinent information.

***Attending practice is an expectation throughout the season. Missing practice can result in a loss of equal playing time throughout the season and will be at the coach's discretion. (Examples of valid excuses for missing practice include illness, injury, and family emergencies. Examples of invalid excuses for missing practice include: birthday parties, being too tired, or just not "feeling it" today.)

SAEBA 1st-6th In-House 2024-2025

The In-House Program at SAEBA will provide an opportunity for ALL boys and girls within the Shaler Area School District in grades 1 through 6 to give basketball a try. Our goal is for players to have fun learning and playing the game of basketball in a less-competitive setting. This program will be centered around several clinics, training sessions, and league games. 

The program will be divided by age group to make sure that your child can make the most out of competition, while increasing the likelihood of improvement without being discouraged. This will put players in a position to develop their foundational skills (dribbling, passing, and shooting), as well as lead to a sense of achievement.  

Our coaches will be tasked with helping players develop agility, coordination, endurance, flexibility, speed, and strength. In game situations, players will learn to cooperate with teammates and coaches, which will improve their communication skills. We will strive to ensure that while all players continue to learn, they also have fun, so they develop an interest in pursuing sports participation as they get older.
