Here is some information about the upcoming SLC Basketball Camps this summer as well as a link to the web site. St Lawrence has long been a supporter of our league, and this year they are sponsoring five of our players to attend the summer camps.

The direct link to the online registration form is: http://slcathletics.ca/sb_output.aspx?form=43

Camp Dates are July 7-11 for players in Grades 3-7, and July 14-18 for players in Grades8-11. Cost is $199 per week plus applicable taxes.

National Volunteer Week runs from April 6-12 this year and what better time could there be to thank the more than 70 volunteer coaches, scorers, timers referees, canteen helpers and executive that make our basketball league happen. Volunteers are the cornerstone of our organization, and without them we would not be the special place for children to learn the game of basketball every season. The Volunteer Canada web site says that Canada has 13.3 million volunteers, and goes on to say “Volunteers strengthen our communities and make our country vibrant. The Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, calls Canada “a smart and caring nation.” It’s our dedication to community involvement that has given us that reputation at home and around the globe.”

Thank you to our volunteers, and if you know of other volunteers in our community, take the time to thank them this week for what they do to make this a better place to live.

On April 3 CaraCo donated their box at the Rogers KRock Centre so that players from our league could attend the Harlem Globetrotters World Tour Game. Convenors were asked to supply names and ten of our players from all five divisions attended. Special thanks to Charlie and Sarah Mignault for generously hosting the players during the game, and thanks to CaraCo for their generosity to our players and our league!

Here is a new initiative from St. Lawrence College. It is called Small Ball Basketball, and it is focused on improving skills and fundamentals for boys and girls 8-13. It will be running April 2- May 28th on Wednesday nights from 430 – 6 pm. Camp attendees will receive a jersey and a basketball. Cost is $100 per player. More information is available on the SLC web site, or you can contact Vikings Women’s Basketball Head Coach, Remy Simpson, for further information about Small Ball at: 613-539-1903. Coach Simpson and members of the varsity team will be the clinicians.
