It is not recommended that new players join for the first time during the spring season. It's best to join in the fall when teams are set up with more focus on players playing with players with similar skill sets and experience.
DIVISIONS FOR 2025:
UNDER 11 BOYS AND GIRLS: BORN 2014 or later (Play 5v5 w/ size 5 ball on 10' hoops)
UNDER 13 BOYS AND GIRLS: BORN 2012-2013
UNDER 15 BOYS AND GIRLS: BORN 2010-2011
UNDER 18 BOYS AND GIRLS: BORN 2007, 2008, 2009
NOTE FOR ALL DIVISIONS: PLAYERS CAN PLAY UP AN AGE GROUP (UNDER-AGED) BUT NO OVER-AGED PLAYERS ARE ELIGIBLE IN ANY DIVISION. IF Y0U HAVE A SINGLE OVERAGED PLAYER YOU MUST MOVE UP TO THAT PLAYERS AGE CATEGORY.
For SBA, it is not the same individual registration process like the winter season. Coaches register their teams (below) with an intent to collect their fees from their players, pay the team fee to SBA for $2250 that includes the EYBA team fee. SBA will have a cost of gym rentals, equipment rentals at $800.
If you are in need of uniforms, I can place an order with our Supplier, but need 2-3 weeks time to process. You can email Darlene @ sbabasketball@shaw.ca to advise. Jerseys are $40 each (no shorts included).

Please note, regarding choosing a club/team/program: EYBA is not responsible or liable to provide or verify vulnerability processes for any associated organizations found through this process. It is the responsibility of the consumer to verify the program they are choosing adheres to all safety policies and processes under the vulnerability sector. It is common practice for organizations dealing with youth to require all coaches/volunteers to submit a vulnerability criminal record. Each program is responsible for the safety of each and every child. Please do you due diligence in selecting a program.
ARE YOU AN INDIVIDUAL LOOKING TO BE PUT ONTO A SPRING TEAM WAIT LIST? *YOU CAN SUBMIT THE BELOW INFORMATION.*
This is not meant to discourage individuals from joining, just that there are no guarantees placement can or will be made. However, a running list of emails with individual player information is kept on file. Therefore, if you wanted to be put onto my 2024 spring league list of players, you can email Darlene at sbabasketball@shaw.ca with the following information:
ARE YOU A COACH IN NEED OF MORE PLAYERS?
If you are a Coach/Parent looking for players to put a team together and you cannot find enough players within your own team/group, I can connect you with other Coaches/Parents from the division you want to be involved in having a team in. You can advise Darlene at the above email address to enquire about contacting other people to get a team put together.
SBA does NOT run its own spring league and the minimum age for EYBA's spring league is U11. Other divisions in EYBA include 13U, 15U & 18U.
EYBA LEAGUE SET UP:
EYBA sets up their spring league with as many divisions as they can have depending on how many teams enter. Teams can be turned down if there are too many entered with not enough gym time. Potential tiering of teams is not known until after deadline date. More information will follow once this information is confirmed.
