October-May

Most Spirits teams compete in the Ontario Basketball League (OBL). A typical season includes 12 games played over 5 weekends, primarily in the GTA and surrounding areas. In addition, each team selects its own tournaments to participate in throughout the season.

As a not for profit community organization, we rely on the support of sponsors and donors to keep basketball affordable for local athletes.

Sponsorship and donor funds help:

• Lower player registration fees

• Cover gym rental costs

• Cover OBL registration fees

• Cover tournament registration fees

• Cover Ontario Cup registration fees

• Provide uniforms for athletes

• Support club-wide operational costs

Many local high schools run development leagues in the Spring. Summer Camps, and Clinics are a great idea too. Follow our social media for development opportunities.

Our competitive teams practice twice a week. Practices are mandatory to attend.
