Big Lake Youth Basketball Association
Updated Information re Youth Sports (01.06.2021)
As we all know this year has been a year of the unknown. We are hoping to get some normalcy in our children's lives soon with being able to start basketball practices on Jan. 4, 2021.
Please note though that according to the COVID-19 Sports Practice Guidance for Youth, there will be some changes:
- A face covering will need to be worn AT ALL TIMES during practices and games; a face covering must cover the nose and mouth completely
- Spectators will now be allowed, but it is up to each school district as to the specific protocols
- One parent is allowed at practices but parents must remain 6 feet apart
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT BLYBA'S DECISION. As an Association we have to follow state mandated guidelines (link above) as well as MYAS guidelines. Please see their website for additional information.
Games can begin Jan. 14, 2021 and coaches will be in touch with their teams in accordance to how each team will be handled.
If you have any questions for the Board, please do not hesitate to reach out.
COVID-19 Guidelines
Big Lake Youth Basketball Association will be following all guidelines put in place by the Minnesota Department of Health. Please note that this information will continue to be updated as often as the information is released or changed.

The Big Lake Youth Basketball Association (BLYBA) is an independent non-profit organization and is not part of the Big Lake School District programs.
We are a community group of volunteers interested in the promotion of basketball in the Big Lake attendance area and the development of a competitive basketball program. Participation will focus on camaraderie, sportsmanship and the intense instruction of basketball fundamentals and having fun while traveling to other communities.
