Woodbury Athletic Association (WAA) accepts kids who live in the City of Woodbury OR attends a school in the city of Woodbury for its In-house and Traveling programs.
For Travel Basketball, we must follow MYAS rules. If a player lives in Woodbury but is not in the Woodbury High School Boundary (East Ridge School, Stillwater School, or Oakdale/Maplewood School), MYAS requires families to fill out a player transfer waiver (basketball only).
Please fill out this waiver and send it to the boys or girls basketball director prior to tryouts.
Before Travel Tryouts / Before In-House Shoot Arounds
Full Refund (less the $30 admin fee)
After Travel Tryouts / After In-House Shoot Arounds
No Refunds (with the exception of injury)
The WAA Basketball Board is looking to fill the following positions:
