Looking ahead to the fall of 2024

Plans are now being formulated for our tryouts for the 2024-25 competitive season.

Once the registration links are posted, please register for the tryouts if you are interested, and that way, our coaches know how to contact you.  

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Competitive Travel Teams

Traveling basketball is a higher level of competitiveness than recreational basketball. Our tryouts for competitive teams usually occur starting in early September. The competitive season runs until the OBA provincial finals in April.

Players who consider making the jump to a competitive team should be aware of the following:

  • A larger financial commitment due to travel, lodging, tournament fees, etc.  Our normal fee is $580, but our fee structure for the 2022-23 season is still to be determined.  However, the actual costs of a competitive season are much higher than just that fee.  

  • A greater personal and time commitment. Expect a few nights a week for practice, and tournaments on weekends and the occasional weeknight games.

  • Players and parents are expected to keep coaches updated regarding attendance for practice and games.
