Hello parents, guardians and players; My Thanksgiving wish is that you and your loved ones are well.
As you are aware, due to the fact that school gyms are currently not available for community use, our ability to provide our FULL regular HL programming schedule is severely limited at this point. However, and in the continued fervent hope of a return to a GCBA House League Season in early 2022, we have been fortunate to acquire additional indoor gym time at the Norm Fenn gym at CARLETON University for the months of November and December, and we will be offering fully supervised age appropriate GCBA basketball sessions to all interested players. Most importantly, these are further opportunities to reconnect with friends and play basketball AGAIN! *******- Please note the following upcoming House League Opportunities (with changes bolded and new opportunities in Red):
- Boys U12 at CARLETON: 11:45-12:50 for Boys born in 2010 and 12:55-2:00 pm for Boys born in 2011
- Boys U10 at Cardinal Creek (outdoor): 2-4 pm
- Boys U14 at Gloucester High School (outdoor): 2-3 for Boys born in 2008 and 3-4 for boys born in 2009
