Spring League 2025
Purpose of Spring League
The primary goal of Tillsonburg Youth Basketball is to keep kids active while having fun. Children enrolled in the program will learn the basics in:
Body motion,
Basketball skills and
Basketball rules
While enrolled each child will be provided a team shirt and appropriately sized basketball. Players should bring their ball, shirt, athletic clothes, indoor running shoes and water bottle to each session.
Organizers
This program is fueled by hard work from volunteers in Tillsonburg and the surrounding area.
Volunteers
We are always looking for additional volunteers to help coach as our program is unable to run without them! We encourage parents to get involved by helping coach a team. Our general approach is to have multiple coaches for each team to provide flexibility with regards to attendance. Multiple coaches also helps when demonstrating basketball skills and refereeing games.
If you are interest in becoming a volunteer we do require a police check to be in compliance with the Ontario Basketball Associations insurance policy.
