Yes. Everyone must register for tryouts and come out and tryout. We are limited to the number of participants we can take due to COVID restrictions.
If we are mandated to close down due to COVID and as directed by the government of Canada and or Ontario and we are no longer able to continue with our programs, we will refund players a pro-rated amount based on the number of sessions that remained in their season. We are working on our COVID return policy and will have a policy in place shortly.
Yes. All players are welcomed. After a conversation with the OBA, all players from other leagues are welcome into GSBA. For further information about this or for further questions, please contact Mike Barbin, Director Clubs and Competition OBA. mbarbin@basketball.on.ca
We have costs that come with running tryouts and to ensure we can cover our cost as a registered Non-Profit, we are charging an admin fee of $10.00 per player for tryouts.
The OBA has granted GSBA the opportunity to have two rep teams and all other teams must be house league for our first year of operation. That means next year, we anticipate to have as many teams as interested to play rep or house.
Yes we are affiliated with the OBA and that means the OBA provides us with governance and insurance so that we can play Ball.
Practice schedules have not yet been confirmed. As soon as we have this confirmed we will reach out to you. We hope to have this ready before tryouts and will communicate with all members when the practices will be held for each age group. We cannot formalize the schedule until we know how many teams we have based on the registrations for tryouts.
Our COVID protocols can be found posted on our website under the About section. We will also be communicating specific COVID protocols for tryouts by Wednesday October 14th, 2020.
We appreciate your patience while we sort through the registrations. If you have not heard from us, please check your junk mail, and reach out to us if you have not received a communication from us by Wednesday October 14th, 2020.
All players have the option to play in any league they choose to play in and there is no penalty for doing so. There will be a transfer fee associated with each player who does choose to transfer from one league to another. GSBA is working to secure funding so that parents do not have to absorb that fee. Please visit the OBA website to read about their transfer policy for players. All players are welcome to sign up for tryouts and attend GSBA's club without any penalty.
