SALMON ARM CLUB BASKETBALL

I will be offering club basketball opportunities for boys from grades 4 - 11 in Salmon Arm this Sping and next Fall (maybe Winter - we will see how long the teachers job action exists). In the past I ran the Spring Basketball Program through the School at a cost of $5 to $20. The funds raised helped to purchase uniforms and equipment for our School Basketball Program - insurance and gym use was covered by the school. I will no longer be running the Spring Basketball Program I offer through the schools. Players and parents must understand that the program I am offering is not be affiliated with the schools in Salmon Arm; therefore, there will be a fee to join the club ($100 to $150 - final cost still to be determined). Each player will have to pay for the following: gym rentals, player insurance (includes membership to Basketball BC), uniform (reversible and shorts), b-ball, equipment costs, administrative fees, and coaches expenses. All players in grades 8 - 11, who play spring/fall basketball and attend tournaments or play in organized games, must belong to Basketball BC and be insured. School colours cannot be worn during games and school equipment cannot be used. Failure to comply with these rules will result in suspensions and fines. Players in the younger grades must belong to registered club programs to compete in tournaments. Please stay tune for more information. I will be finalizing cost and details before the end of March. The Programs that I would like to offer are Grades 5 - 7 (4's invited), Grades 7 - 9, and 9 - 11. Grades 4 - 7 will run on Monday and/or Wednesday 6:00 pm to 7:00 or 7:70 pm. STAY TUNE - MORE INFO TO FOLLOW.
