The NYBL has divisions for all levels of play.

Players selected for rep teams must be able to demonstrate a certain level of skill and an ability to be coachable as well as be willing to make sacrifices due to the commitment that is required while playing on a team at this level. 

SILVER (“Development League”)

• Play in Conference- West within West (Travel to local cities to play other clubs).
