GBA Recreational Programs
 

 

The Goulbourn Basketball Association (GBA) recreational program is intended to expose children in the Goulbourn community to the game of basketball and provide them with a positive atmosphere to develop as players and people. Our group of volunteer coaches is dedicated to helping players improve their basketball fundamentals with an emphasis on FUN!

The GBA offers teams at the following age levels for boys and girls subject to player numbers and gym and coach availability:

Small Ball 5, 6 & 7 year-olds

Recreational teams are selected with parity in mind – meaning the pool of available players are evaluated for various skills and distributed evenly across teams so that no one team is stronger than the other.
 

Teams practice one night per week for an hour. Practices begin in mid-October and conclude in early April. Novice teams (8 and 9 year-olds) teams and up to Juvenile teams (17 to 19 year-olds) play one game per week. Games begin in early November (except for novice teams which start their season in January) and season-ending tournaments vary by age being held in the March/April timeframe.

The GBA participates in the West-End Basketball League (WEBL) which brings together eight area associations from the west and south areas of Ottawa to have fun, develop sportsmanship and compete against each other in a positive setting.

All games will be played in accordance with rules established by Basketball Ontario, with the following WEBL rule changes:

Novice
- WEBL Rules
Atom
- WEBL Rules
Bantam
- WEBL Rules
Midget and Juvenile
