 (Please be sure to go through each tab to find your child's team).

 

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: 

 

Your week 1 skills sessions will be different from the remaining skills sessions as we thought it was important for your child to meet your team before game day and receive their jerseys for wednesday (If you have not already picked them up by this Saturday).

This means that the location for week 1, may not reflect the community Catchment you requested upon registration, but will be adjusted after you are familiar with your team. 

* If, your team would rather continue skills sessions as a team, please reach out to info@elevatesportsgroup.co with the division, team and location in which your team is closest to and we can do our best to accommodate this request.

WMBA X ELEVATE Basketball - Bring a Friend Player Policy 

Purpose 

Our goal is to ensure every scheduled game can be played while providing a fun, competitive, and positive experience for all participants. The Bring a Friend Policy allows teams to temporarily add players when they are short-handed due to illness, vacations, or other unavoidable absences. 

Eligibility 

Teams may use a Bring a Friend player only if they are unable to field the minimum number of players required to participate in games. 

The friend must be within the appropriate age division or receive approval from the League Director before participating. 

Players currently rostered on another team within the same division may not be used as a Bring a Friend player unless approved by league staff. 

Approval Process 

Teams must notify league staff before the game whenever possible. 

  • League staff reserves the right to approve or decline any Bring a Friend player to maintain competitive balance. 

Staff may suggest an available player if a team cannot find one. 

Participation Rules 

Bring a Friend players are considered temporary substitutes for that game only. 

Substitute players may participate in multiple games throughout the season for different teams only with league approval. 

Teams may not recruit substitute players to gain a competitive advantage. 

Competitive Integrity 

The purpose of this policy is to allow games to proceed-not to strengthen a team's 

roster. 

League staff may limit playing time or deny the use of a substitute if it is determined that the player creates an unfair competitive advantage. 

Repeated use of substitute players may result in the league requiring roster adjustments or additional review

Sportsmanship 

We encourage families and athletes to help one another so every team has the opportunity to play. The success of our league depends on creating an environment where participation, development, and respect come first. 

League staff reserve the right to interpret and enforce this policy in the best interest of the league and all participants.

What is 3x3?

What used to be a simple half-court pickup game has now become an officially recognized FIBA sport. 3x3 basketball creates more touches, more movement, and more opportunities for player development.

 

Benefits of 3x3 Basketball

More touches. Players get significantly more opportunities with the ball compared to traditional 5v5 basketball.

Everyone develops guard skills. Players learn to handle the ball, make decisions quickly, and play with pace.

Defensive development. Players improve help-side defence, ball containment, and communication.

Offensive movement. Concepts like pass-and-cut, screening, spacing, and drive-and-dish are emphasized constantly.

Speed & quickness. Faster pace means more reps, more engagement, and more growth opportunities.

Flexibility for Families

We know summer schedules can be busy. Families can notify us of vacations or scheduling conflicts in advance, and our substitution policy helps ensure players don’t miss out while teams remain competitive.
