Winter Basketball

There will be 2 youth and 1 adult special needs basketball teams this year! The Temecula Youth Basketball League (TYBL) and the Murrieta Valley Youth Basketball (MVYB) will both have youth teams in the 2024-25 Winter Season, and children must be in grades K-12 to participate. There will also be an adult special needs basketball team in Murrieta.

This initiative is a celebration of inclusion and an opportunity for all people in our communities to shine on the court.
