Boys Under 14

Eligibility: Grade 8 (2013) For 2026/27

Season Description: This team practices twice a week. They usually play in the OBL and another league and register for tournaments or exhibition weekends to rank for Provincial/OBA Championships. The season starts in mid-September and ends in May.

Commitment: Competitive team basketball requires significant time, dedication, and financial commitment. Players and families should be prepared for registration fees, uniforms, and travel expenses. We understand that family, academics, and school activities may take precedence. Please inform coaches well in advance of tryouts if you have conflicts. While we encourage other activities, our competitive program is usually a higher level of play, and parents and athletes must understand the commitment. Consider time, travel (most games and tournaments are outside of London), and financial implications before joining.

Cost: Estimated fees range from $1000 to $1500 per player, including league fees, Ontario Cup registration, tournament fees, insurance, gym facilities, coaches’ expenses, and more. Fees vary based on age group, number of tournaments/leagues, number of players per team, and practice locations.

Fees are due in early October each year.

Uniform: 2 jerseys and 2 shorts – $180 – Players keep their uniforms. This is an additional cost on top of the listed registration fees and is ordered from Source teamworks in London.

Funding: Parents may apply for funding through Jumpstart, KidSport, and Their Opportunity to help cover player fees. Please note that funding is not guaranteed and may not cover the full cost. We will work with families to develop a plan that helps reduce financial stress.
