Salvation Army RBA and DAYBA Announce Merger

Two youth basketball programs, Salvation Army RBA celebrate building skills. The two groups, the former, a program of the Salvation Army and the latter, formed by parents in the early 1990s once competed for some of the same kids explained their directors, Kris Mallett and Erik Lofald. RBA once was for grades 1-4 at the same time that DAYBA served grades 3-6. During the past seven years, as Mallett and Lofald took leadership roles and worked together, the RBA has served kindergarten through fourth grade, and DAYBA has served grades 5-8. On March 11, 2019 they announced the two programs will merge under Mallett's direction.

2019 Spirit of the North Basketball Tournament Registration form. 2019 myas flyer revised.pdf

As of 9:10 am Thursday, July 18 all entries are on hold. Any entries after this date will be used to fill out the tournament.

Update on what is happening: This is my 27th Spirit of the North Tournament and we have never had a response of entries like we have had this year. This is great, but there is one major concern. For 26 years local teams have been supporting our tournament, and rely on it. So, we are holding entries until we contact local teams for their entries. (They have never had to register this early in the previous 26 years) I know this may not be popular with everyone concerned, but we felt is was the fairest. Note: All teams listed on website are registered and paid and are in the tournament.
