The following is a brief introduction to our programs. Our U11 to U18 teams participate in the CMBA Calgary Minor Basketball League. Calgary Minor Basketball League is a tiered program so players of all skills and levels will find appropriate levels of competition. Games are played on Saturdays in Calgary at a variety of locations throughout the season which you can find under the CMBA Facility List tab on our website. We make an effort to keep all practices in the town of Cochrane at the available schools, however that may change due to gym availability. Generally we try to schedule practices on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursday, however that may change due to gym availability and we do have makeup practices on Fridays. Please review the following information and subsequent notes. If you should have any further questions please send your queries to cochraneminorbasketballassoc@gmail.com
