Team Registration is now open. The form is in the HANDOUTS section.
Registration will formally end on Friday, September 27, however, it is my goal to have 95% of the field filled by mid-September and then work on the final 5% in the final week of Sept.
The goal is to post the entire field and separate into competitive divisions by Sept 30. Then create a "rough schedule" which will be posted by October 6th showing which dates each team will play so you will be able to then book tournaments. The full schedule, with game locations, opponent names, and starting times will be posted 7-10 days later.
There will be a new document on residency requirements and for non-public schools, more roster documentation may be required before formal acceptance.
2024-25 Season Updates:
1. November 3rd will be the first week of competition for half the field while the other half will begin on November 10th
2. ALL teams will be scheduled to play on Sat, Dec 14th or Sunday, Dec 15th. We will not have games on Dec 22nd or Dec 29th due to an inability to procur enough facilities over the holiday period. The WYBL will begin the 2025 portion of our schedule on January 5th. The Year End Championship tournament will be played March 1-2 and then March 8-9. It will be a one day tournament for all but at this time, I cannot tell you which grades and which competitive divisions will be playing which weekend (though it is customary for 7th & 8th graders to play the first weekend).
3. We strongly suggest all programs move up player registration, tryouts and parent meetings next fall. A program WILL not receive the league schedule until all teams in that program comply with all payment and form submissions regardless as to whether teams are sending in fees and forms collectively or individually. Boys are not allowed to participate in any other league or sport without timely submission of fees and forms; that same logic will apply to the WYBL effective immediately.
We are proud to announce a partnership with Steve Novak's wonderful shooting competition! This is a 2 minute shooting competition covering 21 spots on the floor. Do you have what it takes to be crowned the WYBL shooting champion?

Year End Tournament Information is below:
Year End Tournament FAQ's
* It is a one day tournament. Everyone qualifies.
* After the final games of the season, teams will be seeded into a bracket. Your specific game locations and starting times will be available two days after the regular season ends.
* It is a two game guarantee with a possibility of four games. Win the first game and you move to the Championship side of the bracket. Lose the first game and you head to the Consolation side. From there, one loss and you are eliminated.
* The WYBL will pay all referee fees
* Like prior years, I will be re-balancing divisions by moving some teams up or down a division.
* for 3rd grade, I plan on putting the top 4-5 teams from 4C, 4CC, and 4CD into the 4C division. The middle 4-5 teams into 4CC, and the bottom teams from each into the 4CD division for the tournament.
* 4C, all of 7th and all of 8th grade divisions will play March 2nd or March 3rd.
* Every other division will play either March 9th or 10th
* Awards to 1st, 2nd, and Consolation winners

Score Reporting: I will attempt to gather all scores each week and post them on Monday morning. If you do not see your score posted or it the posted score is incorrect, please send the correct score to wyblscores@yahoo.com.
Do not send a picture. Simple state the Grade, division, and result. Example: 8A Nicolet 31 Kettle Moraine 30
Team registration DOES NOT equal Acceptance into the WYBL. All returning teams have priority and the final number of teams in each grade/competitive division will be similar to last year but subject to the WYBL creating a manageable schedule, having sufficient hosting sites for games, and the amount of time/effort my wife will allow me to devote to youth basketball!
The WYBL is a league that supports community-based teams. It is required that each player reside in your school district or currently open enroll into your school district. Let me be clear on this: no teams shall be comprised on multi-district players. Players should be assigned to teams within their grade level (or play "up") and not according to age.
As is always the case, please contact me at any time with questions and/or suggestions. The aim is to continue to improve to make the WYBL the best youth boys basketball league in the State. For Information Concerning the League please contact Lee Clement (414) 839-6800. Email: Leeclement1@yahoo.com
