• Travel basketball is for 3rd-6th grade boys and 4th-6th grade girls that desire more competitive play.  Travel teams play in outside community leagues and travel tournaments around Northeast Ohio.  Tryouts for travel teams occur in September (dates TBD). Girls travel team tryouts for 4th grade will occur in December to play in tournaments at the conclusion of the rec season.  See travel information for more details.

Lindsay’s Law, Ohio Revised Code 3313.5310, 3707.58 and 3707.59 went into effect in 2017.

In accordance with this law, the Ohio Department of Health, the Ohio Department of Education, the Ohio High School Athletic Association, the Ohio Chapter of the American College of Cardiology and other stakeholders jointly developed guidelines and other relevant materials to inform and educate students and youth athletes participating in or desiring to participate in an athletic activity, their parents, and their coaches about the nature and warning signs of sudden cardiac arrest.

What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

A Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, cutting off blood flow to the brain and other vital organs.  Sudden cardiac arrest is fatal if not treated immediately, most often by a defibrillator.

Who is Lindsay?

Senate Bill 252 is named for national heart health advocate and former Miss Ohio Lindsay Davis who suffers from a heart condition and has since dedicated her career to raising awareness of this potentially fatal condition.

Congratulations to the Cleveland Cavaliers for making their 4th straight trip to the NBA finals!  Former Twinsburg grad and 13 year NBA player James Posey has been an assistant coach for the Cavaliers since 2014!

The date of next year's event has not been announced.  Check out photos from last year:

TRBL has been a mainstay of the Twinsburg community for many years.  Countless number of people have volunteered many hours to make TRBL one of the best community youth organizations in Northeast Ohio.  We currently have a board of 18 individuals that are passionate about our youth and the game of basketball.  Many current board members have spent many years on the board.  If you are interested in learning more about our board or participating, please send an email to twinsburgyouthbasketball@gmail.com
