The applicable eligibility details will be published when tryouts or registration open.

Our teams are generally organized around grade-level divisions, but they may participate in both grade-based and age-based tournaments. Every athlete must meet the eligibility rules for each event.

If a division is not listed, KYB does not currently have an active team in that group and is not presently developing one. Available divisions will be updated as the program grows.
