We’re excited to share details for MMYBA tryouts for the 2025-26 season!
Tryout dates will be Sunday, September 28 and Saturday, October 4, both at Milwaukie High School. It is encouraged to attend both sessions if possible. One is mandatory for team selection. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time to allow time to check in.
Tryouts are expected to be competitive at the middle school level. In the past, we've placed players on two teams for each of the 6th thru 8th grade level. Not all players will make a team. For those that don't make a team, there are other playing opportunities through programs such as Hoopers. The elementary level is typically less competitive for roster spots and features a single team per grade level.
We are planning to offer a skills clinic/tryout hybrid experience. Based on previous turnout, we anticipate forming one team at each grade level with the required number of players, and our focus will be on ensuring a strong, supportive environment for player development. This clinic-style approach will provide a fun, low-pressure opportunity to showcase skills while getting back into the rhythm of basketball.
Sign up for girls tryouts now.
After exploring various options, we will be returning to tournament play for the 2025-26 season with a renewed effort to better match each team to the appropriate competition level. We will also be working more directly with coaches to select the right tournaments. Our expectation is that this will provide more suitable competition for all teams. We are still finalizing details for the upcoming season and will provide more information prior to tryouts. We're committed to creating a competitive, development-focused program where every young athlete in Milwaukie can grow and thrive. Stay tuned for season information in the coming weeks.
This is the official schedule. Please check the calendar before attending an open gym or skills clinic in case of any changes.

Milwaukie Mustangs Youth Basketball Association has been serving Milwaukie, Oregon area athletes since 2008. We are a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organization that strives to support Milwaukie youth grades 3-8.
Our goal is to provide students with quality instruction in basketball that includes fundamentals and age-appropriate skill development with an emphasis on sportsmanship, respect, and teamwork.
We are affiliated with the Milwaukie Mustangs Basketball Program at Milwaukie High School and try to bridge the two programs via participation, play, and service.
The Mustang Basketball Program and coaches are dedicated to creating a positive environment and culture predicated around clear expectations, healthy accountability, and trust. We believe that these are key elements to creating a winning culture but more importantly respectable individuals in society. We will always strive to do the following with passion:
(1) Communicate and set explicit expectations for those a part of the program
(2) Model and encourage players to hold themselves and their peers accountable
(3) Build and maintain a trust between the players and coaches that is demonstrated on and off the court.
We hope that these founding principles and our intense enthusiasm for the game transcend into our players daily lives and leave a persisting culture for the future generations of Mustangs.
