Registration for the 2023-24 season will open in July 2023.

The KYBA offers programs to suit player needs ranging from those who are just starting out to the experienced competitive player. Both practice and league play are designed to offer equal measures of player enjoyment (FUN), physical fitness and personal skill development. However, each player has a different view of what constitutes fun, fitness and skill development.

To address these varying objectives, the KYBA offers the following programs:

• Entry Level (for ages 5-7) (*Note: 7 year olds with basketball experience can choose novice house league)

• House League, which represents the basic level of play in all its divisions; this is our most widely used program.

• opportunity to be a part of the House League Selects, which exposes players to more challenging competition by participating in local competitive tournaments;

• and finally A, AA, AAA Competitive Teams (Ottawa Next Level), which is built on the instruction of basketball fundamentals with the aim to develop and improve on players skills and abilities.  ONL teams operate from U10-U19, with separate teams for boys and girls.

All house league and tykes practices and games (except for occasional inter-association tournaments) are held in gymnasiums of local Kanata schools. Practices are held on weekday evenings between 6-10pm, with the earliest times going to our youngest players. Some teams may have practice on one weekend day, with their game on the opposite weekend day.  Games are held on weekends.
