MYB will participate in the following leagues / divisions (age groups):

INSTRUCTIONAL LEAGUE

Rim Heights:
8 feet for 1st Grade Boys
8 feet for 1st and 2nd Grade Girls

Instructional League Rules

 CINCINNATI PREMIER YOUTH BASKETBALL LEAGUE - CPYBL 

Boys and Girls (3rd grade - 8th grade):

All teams play in the Cincinnati Premier Youth Basketball League  (CPYBL).  CPYBL is a league made up of teams from all parts of Cincinnati and offers both recreational and athletic (select) divisions. CPYBL is committed to bringing a positive league experience to all of its members. They are a progressive league that is always looking to improve their operations based on the suggestions of its active membership. For more information, please visit the CPYBL website at www.cpybl.com.

Recreational teams will practice one time per week and play a 10 game season. Teams are grouped by ability level with other teams from participating organizations.

MASON RISING (Athletic Division Teams)

Boys and Girls (3rd grade - 6th grade)

These teams will be formed by tryouts (Mason high school coaches run the tryouts) during late September each year. They will practice twice per week and  play a 20 game season, as well as have the option of playing in a preseason tournament. Many communities refer to these teams as their “select” teams. In addition to the registration fee, there will be an additional fee to cover additional games for refs, scorekeepers, tournaments, potential uniform upgrades and additions to the uniform not covered by the base registration fee.

By making and accepting a spot on an athletic team, this will be your “primary” team for the winter season. If you play on a second team, you are required to prioritize the Mason team if a conflict with games or practices arise with the second team. Frequently missing games or practices will be considered for tryouts the following years

Both recreational and Mason Rising teams will play in the Cincinnati Premier Youth Basketball League (CPYBL)
