The Arlington Travel Program is a competitive program designed for the advanced player. Arlington Travel teams participate in the Fairfax County Youth Basketball League (“FCYBL”) along with more than 20 other youth organizations from the northern Virginia area. FCBYL was created over 20 years ago to promote competition, athletics, and good sportsmanship. For more information on FCYBL.

The FCYBL league is run during the traditional winter basketball season. Practices start in October, and games are played from December through February.

Tryouts for Arlington Travel Basketball teams are open to all Arlington boys and girls and are held every year at the beginning of October.

Arlington Travel Basketball is separate from the county-run "house league," which is an inter-Arlington league that does not hold any tryouts. For more information on Arlington house league basketball.

Running hard with team Challenger

In a continued partnership with the Challenger program, ATB and the Challengers program hosted our second practice of the 2017-18 season. Challengers team up with ATB "buddies" who will participate, side by side, in a series of drills that have the look and feel of a real practice. ATB really values teamwork.  Our Challenger events are some of the best team practices of the year.

ATB Challenger

ATB and the Challengers program had fun today. Challengers team up with ATB "buddies" who will participate, side by side, in a series of drills that have the look and feel of a real practice. About halfway through the event, the Challengers play a real game - again with their ATB buddies beside them. Coaches were impressed with all the great passing, smiles, and friendly exchanges by the parents and children at today’s event.
