Welcome to the website of the Bergen Travel Basketball League (BTBL). BTBL provides an organized league format for boys and girls travel teams to represent their towns by playing in a competitive environment against other Bergen County communities. 2011 was BTBL’s ninth year for Boys and it was the fifth year for its Girls Division. 2011 was highly successful based on feedback from coaches, players, parents as well as additional towns who have joined in 2011. In 2011, 240 Travel Teams competed in BTBL. Over 1750 games were played. BTBL thanks each town, its coordinators and its coaches for their commitment to competitive youth basketball and most importantly for their support of BTBL. Special thanks to all parents for making it possible for their child to play in BTBL.

In 2012, 282 teams of boys and girls will compete in 37 competitive flights from second grade through eight.

We keep it simple
The use of a Referee Assignors assures a fair and simple environment for teams to compete. Two Referees per game and Assignor fees are included in BTBL’s Registration fee.
New in 2012

Pre-season exhibition schedule was successfully begun in BTBL in the fall of 2011. A reduced rate package of 6 exhibition games was offered from 11/15 – 12/22. Contact your Town Liaison for more information. We hope to continue to grow this program in the future.
