About Mahtomedi Basketball Association

The Mahtomedi Basketball Association (MBA) is an all volunteer organization that was founded in 1990 by a group dedicated volunteers who wanted to provide every child in District #832 with the opportunity to play organized basketball.  The Association is governed by a board of directors composed of interested parents and community residents.

The MBA is a recognized athletic organization association in the Mahtomedi Area, Mahtomedi Community Education, Mahtomedi School District (#832), City of Mahtomedi, and other surrounding cities.  Our board members are committed to providing participants with a quality basketball experience.  Our mission is to provide boys and girls in grades K through 8, at various skill levels, and grades 9 though 12, at a recreational level, an opportunity to play basketball in an organized environment that emphasizes skill development, teamwork, good sportsmanship, and fun.

 

Programs

The Mahtomedi Basketball Association offers a basketball opportunity for players K-12.

The Youth Program provides an introductory basketball experience for grades K-2. This program helps young children learn and develop the skills of basketball, while emphasizing good sportsmanship, team play, and fun. Participants play once a week on Friday evenings (first/second grade) or Saturday afternoons (Kindergarten).

The In-house Program has multiple girls and boys teams at grade levels 3 - 8.  All players who sign up by the deadline will be rostered to a team.  These teams practice one night a week and compete on eight to ten Saturdays. 

The Traveling Program is the most competitive program with the Mahtomedi Basketball Association. There are girls and boys teams at grade levels: 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Players are selected competitively based upon performances at tryouts.  Teams practice two nights a week and complete in weekend tournaments around the Twin-Cities Metropolitan area (and sometimes beyond). 

The High School Recreational Program offers a recreational option for High School students Grades 9-12 that are not participating on a High School Team. This program provides an option for high school students who want to continue playing at a recreational level.

Funding and Tournaments


There is a participation fee at all levels. In addition, the MBA is supported in part by income earned at the Mahtomedi Basketball Association Tournaments. These tournaments reduce the registration cost for Traveling. It is an expectation that all Traveling team parents provide volunteer worker support for our tournaments.  The MBA relies on parent and adult volunteers for coaches and support for fundraisers. The success of any organization is determined by the participation of its members. The more people who take an active role and volunteer, the better this organization will be.
