2024 - CMBA Technical Package for Download
Spring ball is not current specifically offered through AMBA or all community Zones like it is in the regular Fall and Winter CMBA seasons. Spring basketball is a mix of individually organized teams, various clubs and some community teams. Most of the teams are independent and decide independently on their schedules (i.e. number of practices, leagues they are in, tournaments they register for, fees). This means that your "season" can be the length of the CMBA Spring League or extended beyond based on tournaments you enter.
AMBA Members are encouraged to form their own independent teams.
Main word of advice, consider costs and commitment from all involved in your team in order to have a successful season. With an established schedule (or close to it) and associated fees, divide this amongst your team, generally best to collect to ensure commitment and then register your team accordingly. AYBC insurance first and foremost (see information below), practice facility booking, CMBA league play, any tournaments, additional training.
Hopefully this helps a little and if you are looking to put a team together we would suggest talking to your current AMBA team first for interest, and expand the conversation from there to find more players/coaches. That said, if you need more players or are looking for a team please let us know and we will try to connect you as we want you all to continue to play ball!
Individual team notes:
If you are currently apart of our AMBA community and are wanting to bring a team together (does not need to be your current team/players, anyone you want to have) we are here to offer minor assistance:
Spring ball word of advice:
Read the CMBA league information (https://www.cmba.ab.ca/content/league-spring-information) for age categories and league divisions. If you are looking to have AMBA assist with your team we need to hear from ONE representative of your team to secure contact information, coordinate lending our uniforms, etc.
