Extra practices may be scheduled in the fall. There are 14 spots available and players will be required to re-register for the winter session.
U13 2011 Provincial Champions: We are so very proud of our 2011 U13 Gold team. In our first season in the Metro League and the U13 provincials they were crowned Champions.They defeated the Burnaby Eagles in the final 60-39 after losing to those same Eagles in the semi final. The Balloholics used the convoluted draw to the back door to get back to the championship and capitalized on the second chance. It has been a great season for a great group of kids. They worked so hard and had so much fun together. We have many to thank for getting this group together and supported. Starting with Doreen George at Edmonds Community School who we first talked to last spring with our crazy idea, she seemed to like it as much as me. Along the way we got a hand from Tim Lai at Morley, Principal Marilyn Kwok at 12th Ave. Elementary and VP Dino Klarich at Edmonds. The Balloholics with a total U12/U13 group of 30 kids in its first try won their division in both the Metro League and the U13 provincials. Balloholics hold the distinction of being the smallest Steve Nash group in BC. We were successful against programs drawing their teams from hundreds of kids in the age group. Six team members were in their first year of organized sports.They would not have even played basketball this year if not for the Balloholics and KidSport funding they received. The program was conceived in the belief that too many kids from the Edmonds area of Burnaby were being left out of the Metro League because of cost.We also believed that in the long term that's the kind of area basketball players are found. Three years ago we couldn’t imagine being here today.We are so proud of our boys, happy for our parents and our coaches. GOOD JOB. Tournament Scores: Balloholics 59 - TCYBA 27 RBL Ballers 22 - Balloholics 47 SBMC All Stars 52 - Balloholics 49 Balloholics 67 - Nanimo 24 SBMC All Stars 39 - Balloholics 60 Gold Team Update: Gold played in the Green Division Championship game at Trinity Western University on Sunday March 6th and defeated Holy Cross 47-43 to win the Championship. We are very proud of the boys who worked hard all year and competed hard in the final. Leading scorers were Stanley Ho (16) Abdul Bangura (13). Abdul Bangura scored the final 3 points with the score tied at 44 to give the Balloholics the championship trophy. Congratulations to our first Metro League Team.
