5th-8th Grade: The number of teams in an age group is dictated by the number of players who register for each grade level. The 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade levels teams are formed by conducting a Tryout. When a sufficient number of interested and talented players try-out, teams will be tiered to form a “Team-1” and “Team-2”.  The number of teams formed at each grade-level shall be determined at the discretion of the 5th-8th Grade Director and Coaching Director in conjunction with the evaluators.

  • The team skill and competition level in tournaments will be decided by the 5th-8th Grade Director, Coaching Director and Coaches involved at each grade level.

  • Even though there may be multiple teams at a grade level, it does not mean the teams will be formed by tier. Teams could be made into equal-based teams based upon the discretion of the 5th-8th Grade Director and Coaching Director in conjunction with the evaluators.

  • Participants cannot play on more than one ZYBA team simultaneously.
