Q: I'm new to the area and would like to play basketball or miniball, how do I get involved?
A: Our miniball season and junior grades (Secondary A, Secondary B & Intermediate) are organised via your school and only available to school age kids. Enquire at your school about joining a team. If your school does not have a team available, please contact us directly. Our A and B grades and social league are open grades to all adults and organised directly with ESBA. If you don't have a team, email our secretary or private message us on Facebook and we will do our best to find a team for you in our A, B and social league grades.
