BMBA House League Programs

The BMBA House League program  is an instructional basketball program for boys and girls 5 to 18 years of age.  House league players are grouped according to their age and skill level to learn the fundamental skills and principles of the game. Playing time is regulated through the OBA sanctioned “Fair Play Policy” so that every participant is guaranteed to play equal playing time.

Coaches are committed to developing individual skills, introducing concepts of team play and improving the over-all fitness levels of their players. Many participants have shown an improvement in self-confidence levels and this has encouraged players to continue their interest and passion for playing the game of basketball.  House League exposes players to a competitive, but friendly environment, while also offering opportunities to train and excel at a higher level , for example, through the BMBA Rep program.
