REP Program Information - Oct 22, 2020

We are all doing our best to adapt to the changing conditions in these difficult times.  The Hurricanes are committed to offering our young athletes a quality basketball experience and we will work flexibly as we move forward.  

 

As it stands now, all Hurricanes programming operates under Ontario Basketball Associations Phase 3 Guidelines which outline health and safety protocols.  For details, please follow the link below. 

 

https://basketball.on.ca/ontario-basketball-releases-return-play-guidelines-phase-3/

 

All Hurricanes Rep teams are planning to participate in the Ontario Basketball League (OBL) program.  Coaches will also have funding to participate in one tournament (or equivalent games) or their choosing.

 

The choice to participate in the OBL has been made in an effort to  provide games within an appropriate competition level.  It also reduces the cost to families as hotel stays are not a necessity on most competition weekends.

 

Some basic OBL information is outlined below.  If this program gets cancelled we hope to be able to play more localized games in order to have a season.  We will make every effort to move forward in a transparent way.

 

For more information on the  OBL, please follow this link.

We want to thank everyone for their interest and encouragement.  We would also like to thank the committed volunteers who contribute to the success of the Hurricanes programs.  

 

Volunteering 

The Hurricanes is a non-profit organization composed entirely of volunteers.  There are several ways you can get involved and contribute to this great community. 

 

We will be looking for a team manager for each of the Rep teams.  Managers are critical to the success of this volunteer organization.  Managers help organize uniform distribution and tracking as well as general email announcements.  Managers will be given training and ongoing support from Hurricanes executives.  

 

We are hoping to have team photographers and news writers.  The kids, parents and grandparents love seeing and reading about Hurricanes games online.  We continually add to our website and need your contributions.  Stories and pictures are posted by you, managers or by our lead website designer.  It is as easy as sending an email and the results are very rewarding for the kids.  Training is provided.

 

Please consider how you can help and contact us if you have any questions.
