WELCOME TO BEL AIR BOY'S BASKETBALL!
Who We Are:
Bel Air Boys Basketball offers rec basketball to the greater Bel Air, Maryland area and also supports travel basketball teams that compete in area leagues.
We offer clinic programs for younger boys (5-8) and competitive leagues for older boys (9-15).
Our 2025 season is underway and registration is closed. Registration will open on August 1st, 2026 for both Rec and Travel Basketball.
For the 2026 season, tryouts for our travel program are FREE, but require advance registration (see below).
Our competitive rec leagues will conduct player evaluations and focus on competitive balance in team formation. Teammate requests in competitive leagues ARE EXTREMELY LIMITED.
