About Cochrane Minor Basketball

WHO WE ARE

The Cochrane Minor Basketball Association (CoMBA) is a non-profit Society that promotes and encourages basketball among area youth. CoMBA programs are open to all genders, who range in age from 8 to 17 years and live in the Northwest Municipal District of Rocky View or the Town of Cochrane. We also offer a "Tykes" program which is a skill development program geared towards 6-8 year olds.

The success of CoMBA relies on the dedicated commitment of volunteers all of whom work for the benefit of our players and the community-at-large.

MISSION

The mission of the Cochrane Minor Basketball Association is to organize and implement a comprehensive community based Fall/Winter/Spring basketball program which instills a life-long passion of basketball. The CoMBA program promotes a balance of player participation, player skill development and developing competitiveness in our players while ensuring a safe, supportive, equal opportunity, positive atmosphere.

GOALS

Participation

Promote participation of Cochrane area youth in our basketball programs with the belief that active children will be healthier and happier children. CoMBA strives to be accessible to all Cochrane and area youth between the ages of 6 and 17 years. By remaining a volunteer based organization and holding volunteer-based fund raising events, such as casinos, the CoMBA is able to keep costs down in order to provide our area youth more accessibility to participate in CoMBA programs.

Development

Teach and develop basketball skills and playing strategies to our Players to promote their enjoyment of the game and to assist in their advancement to the next playing level.

Model and teach good sportsmanship and fair play, respect for others, team commitment and player commitment to learning and playing the game of basketball.

Foster an effective, supportive and progressive environment in which all players and coaches can aspire to achieve their potential.

Competition

Provide a valuable opportunity by having our teams participate in the Calgary Minor Basketball Association to encourage competitiveness in our players while at the same time emphasizing that good sportsmanship is also priority.
