Ohio Crossover Athletics has been invited and accepted a spot in the Talented Youth Basketball Association (TYBA) which is sponsored by AND 1. The TYBA is a high exposure travel basketball circuit for the top independent AAU programs in the country. During each of the two TYBA sessions, our teams are guaranteed 5 games against 10 different programs from AL, IL, IN, KY, NC, PA, TN, & VA. We will never play the same team twice! We are also guaranteed 4 games during the TYBA Finals. That's 14 guaranteed games over three events! In addition, college coaches will be able to attend two of the three events because they occur during the NCAA Live Period and there will be scouting services in attendance at each tournament!

 

Our top high school (9th, 10th, & 11th grade) teams will be the only teams from our program that are participating in the TYBA at this time. All of our other teams will be playing a normal tournament schedule. Our TYBA schedule will include the following dates:

 

  • April 15th-17th - TYBA Session 1 - Nashville, TN (NCAA Live Event)
  • May 20th-22nd - TYBA Session 2 - Louisville, KY
  • July 8th-10th - TYBA Finals - Atlanta, GA (NCAA Live Event)

Each of our teams will also be participating in the AAU Division 1 State Championship, AAU Nationals, as well as a few other high exposure tournaments!

 

We are always trying to improve our program and the services that we offer our players and their families. The TYBA is a great opportunity for our players to showcase their talents in front of college coaches and multiple scouting services and to play teams from all over the country! Our membership in the TYBA is yet another way that Ohio Crossover Athletics is setting itself apart from the competition. If you're not already with us, why not? GO OCA!
