VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME THIS SEASON AND HELP COACH!
As always, parents are encouraged to volunteer as coaches or assistant coaches on their child’s team. Basketball Manitoba, in conjunction with the WMBA, will be conducting coaching clinics throughout the fall. Please check their websites, or this page, for more information as the clinics are announced. Coaches are always needed, and unfortunately, are also in short supply. If we do not have coaches for a certain age group, players registered in that particular age group will need to be transferred to the closest community centre hosting a team in that age group. Help our players stay in Whyte Ridge…
PLEASE CONSIDER VOLUNTEERING TO COACH THIS SEASON!
Refunds will be provided if an athlete chooses to withdraw from the program prior to the first game of the season. All refunds are subject to an $8 administration fee, which is deducted from the registration fee amount. To obtain a refund, email notification must be given to the Whyte Ridge Basketball convener at basketball@whyteridge.ca Notification must be provided at least 48 hours prior to the start of the first game of the season. There are no refunds after the first game of the season.
If you have any questions, please send me an email at basketball@whyteridge.ca
