North Branch Area Athletic Association

North Branch teams have a choice of two different leagues to play in.  There is the Great Northern Basketball League (www.gnbl.org) which is comprised of teams from North/West Central Wisconsin and East Central Minnesota.  The other is Minnesota Youth Athletic Services (www.myas.org) comprised mainly of Mpls/St. Paul Metro teams.  For more information click on the Traveling button on the left and look for your son/daughters grade and you will find a coach/manager contact information there.

North Branch Community Education has the Youth In Action program in basketball for 1st - 6th graders.  This program is designed as an introduction for kids that want to see what basketball is all about and to decide if it is something they want to pursue beyond elementary school.

Season generally starts mid-December and goes through February.  Co-Ed teams are formed and season is split between practice and game play.   Play/Practice takes place in North Branch Middle School on Saturday mornings. 

Volunteers to help Coach/Supervise a team are needed.  Teams are usually from 8 - 11 kids and having 2 coaches/team really works well.
