• Season 2 (Winter) is for players who do not play basketball on their high school's team and who are still 17 years of age on December 31.

Evaluations: All players will participate in evaluations and will be placed on a team appropriate to their skill level. Previous basketball experience is not required.

CNWB offers a fun and competitive program for new and experienced basketball players, of all skill levels, ages 13-14. The emphasis continues to be on overall player development in an environment that encourages them to start playing, or continue playing the game they love. U15 teams typically range from 10-12 players. According to the CMBA guidelines for playing time, "all players must play a similar amount of time in each game. It is also expected that all players play a part of every quarter." This ensures that all players continue to have the opportunity to develop, to compete and to contribute to their team's success.
