With the help of new parent and community volunteers - and lots of determination to acquire new gym space - we expanded the available teams and programs this season! 


During the 2025-26 winter/spring basketball season (which runs mid-November to April/May), Strathroy Spirit is offering:


* 3-on-3 Jr. Winter League (Gr. 3-6) 

* U12 competitive team

* U14 competitive team

* U16 competitive team 

* U19  competitive team


PLEASE NOTE: In past years our tryouts for competitive teams were held near the end of Bootcamp (early to mid-November). 

THIS YEAR TRYOUTS FOR U16 & U19 WILL BE HELD MID-SEPTEMBER!!!  Be sure to check the dates, times and locations.  Mark your calendars and tell your friends, so you don't miss out this year with the date changes.


Tryout information for U12 & U14 teams will be updated soon. 


GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Coaching

Get on the court early!

Get on the court early!

Spirit coaches for the Competitive teams are community and parent volunteers that have completed the FUNdamentals, Learn to Train, and/or Train to Train courses from the National Coaching Certification (NCCP) process.


Team managers and trainers are often parents or older players who step up to be more involved and help with various aspects like team communication, organizing carpooling, tournament accommodations, etc...

The current age groups are flexible and tentative. The number of teams, and the age divisions, will depend on those willing to give a commitment to play.

Signing up for the fall bootcamp (as a player or Jr. Coach) is a great way to see if you're interested in playing competitively!

OBA Season Commitment

Be sure to check tryout dates and locations for your specific team!


Practice/Game/Tournament commitments may vary per team. Coaches will have more detailed information of expectations for the season at tryouts.

Generally, twice a week practices + games + tournaments will give players ample time to develop their skills and put minutes on the court. 


The cost of playing for the season will vary depending on # of tournaments (parental input is often welcome), and the 'swag' the players opt for (past items include: hoodies, personalized bags, water bottles, etc...).  A good estimate is around $400-450 for the season.
