Basketball Leagues

The focus is on skill development, teamwork and overall sportsmanship and enjoyment of the game. There is one weekly practice for grades 3rd – 8th, and all games are played on Saturdays. All teams are coached by parent volunteers. For grades 5th – 8th, the first session will be an evaluation day that consists of skills and drills stations to assess players current level. Coaches are required to attend evaluation day/time for the grade they will be coaching. Using the evaluations, teams will then be drafted by the coaches and Canlan staff immediately following the evaluation as equally as possible. Evaluation day is for players who are registered in advance of their evaluation day, there are no walk-ins for this program. Players who register on or after evaluation day will be randomly placed on a team by Canlan staff and will not be part of the organized draft day selection process. For grades 3rd and 4th grade, players are placed on teams after registration is submitted by Canlan staff. Each player will receive a reversible jersey to wear for games.
