New Program available

We are excited to announce a new program that we have the opportunity to bring SV Minor Basketball to give more children access to playing basketball this year! Thursdays from 5:30-6:30 kids in grades 4-8 who are not currently registered with a basketball team, are welcomed to come to our Open Gym House League. They will be working on training, skills and drills and a few scrimmages with each other.

This will be a coed program for the U11-U14 age brackets. The cost of this program is $40 which includes the BNB and Basketball Canada fees. If your child is interested in this program please register them at http://SouthernVictoria.rampregistrations.com. We will be starting this Thursday at 5:30 at AES!
