Welcome, Parents!

Welcome, VABA Parents, to our Parent Portal.  Here, you will find important resources for our VABA parents.  Some of these resources are required for participating families of our winter basketball leagues.  Included in these required materials are our Pre-season Parent Video and our Positive Parent Assessment.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us directly at info@playvaba.org, and a VABA Team member will be available to assist you.  

Parent Volunteers

Parent volunteers are an essential part of "the VABA Team."  An eagerness to help on game day is the mark of a VABA Parent!  Parents can serve as Team Managers and/or as Culture Keepers, Book-keepers, Clock-Keepers or Playing Time Keepers.  Please expect to take on a volunteer role, in some capacity, throughout the season, and be ready to support your child and his/her team in this way!  Thank you for your support!
