BCWBS is thrilled to host a Junior Wheelchair Basketball Division again in 2014 Steve Nash Youth Basketball Challenge hosted by Basketball BC. This is an exciting event focused on providing junior players with a positive competition and skill development experience just for them. Each player will be playing at least two games in this big event where not only BCWBS but also stand-up basketball, Special Olympic basketball, as well as Canucks Autism Basketball will be competing in. The skills sessions and possibly a demo game with Trinity Western University athletes and/or stand-up basketball junior players will also be held on the day. In addition, we are offering a try-it session for the event participants where hopefully you could help sharing our sport with them! This event (wheelchair basketball division) is for youth born on January 1, 1996 or later and is played on the lowered – 8 ½ ft basketball hoop height and/or on 10ft hoops pending the number of participants.
Registration Info: The tournament registration fees are:
$20 for a BCWBS member
$35 for a non-member. The fee includes your lunch, coaching, instruction, and prizes. Please make your cheque payable to the BC Wheelchair Basketball Society and mail with your registration form to BCWBS Office by Monday, March 3, 2014. Players will be evenly divided into teams the day of the event.
Travel: Due to the length of the event (1 day), it would probably be difficult for regional players to join us. However, they are more than welcome to register if they wish to attend! Please plan on arriving Friday evening, March 29th and depart after 4:00pm on the same day. It is unlikely that we would be able to provide with travel subsidy to regional players unfortunately.
