Nov 20, 2020: Update from Ontario Basketball on Return to Play
OBA has always anticipated a phased approach to Return to Play involving five phases (click here for OBA Return to Play Plan). Phase 5 would be the full resumption of province-wide competition involving OBL and OBA Championships. It appears, at this time, unrealistic to expect to play a modified Phase 5 OBL competition schedule in the 2020-21 season. We are preparing for a modified Phase 4 resumption of competition during the 2020-21 season that will involve regional games and tournaments beginning April 1, 2021.
Oct 9, 2020: Ontario moves Ottawa to modified Stage 2.
At this time, gyms are not included in closures announced. Training pods will continue to run with a maximum of 10 players per session, with masks required.

KYBA looks forward to welcoming all of our players to the gym for our 2020-2021 season! In the meantime, players are encouraged to get exercise and have fun in their driveways or outdoor courts, all the while respecting health guidelines so that we may all return to sport sooner rather than later!
Warmly,
Your KYBA Executive Team
