We will be offering a community program running from mid-October through mid-March. This season practices will be run in school gyms around the Selkirk area and games will take place on weekends in Winnipeg. Practice times will be announced once team formations are complete.

Registration

Participants should register online (www.wmba.ca) based on their closest community center. Typically most communities north of Winnipeg, including Stonewall, Beausejour, the Interlake, and the beaches register with Selkirk.

The jersey cost for the season is $45, players can keep and re-use jerseys as long as they still fit, payment must be made at the first practice either by cash, cheque or e-transfer.

Conveners will form teams of 10 and recruit volunteer coaches. Participants will be notified via email by the convener/coach once they have been assigned to a team. Please note: Our best efforts will be made to connect players with teams. Sometimes we will have to offer a transfer to a nearby Winnipeg club. We will leave that decision to you when that is the case and in the pre-season, we will offer full refunds when we cannot provide a suitable situation for your player/family. 

*Practice days and times will be released after team formation
