WEST OTTAWA STINGERS RECREATIONAL PROGRAM
The West Ottawa Basketball Association has a West Ottawa Stingers Recreational Program for boys and girls 5 to 18 years of age.
Our Recreational Program is intended to expose players in the community to the game of basketball and provide them with a positive atmosphere to develop as players and people. Our group of Coaches are dedicated to helping players improve their basketball fundamentals with an emphasis on FUN!
The Recreational season starts in October and runs until April. All divisions practice 1 evening per week, Monday to Friday. Divisions U10 to U19 will have games on Saturdays with the Year End Tournament held at the end of the basketball season. The West Ottawa Basketball Association runs the West Ottawa Basketball League for some divisions while other divisions participate in the Eastern Ontario Basketball Association. The leagues bring together area associations from across the city and outlying areas to have fun, develop sportsmanship and compete against each other in a safe and positive setting.
Players of all skill levels are welcome to register for our West Ottawa Basketball Stingers' teams! Practices and games are in school gyms in the Stittsville/Kanata area.

Players who are registered in the recreational program and are selected from tryouts for a competitive team will automatically be placed on the competitive team and the difference in the registration fee will be payable online through the player's account.
Players who are not registered in a West Ottawa Basketball program (i.e. registered for Tryouts Only) and are released from our competitive team tryouts are required to contact our Club Administrator to register for a recreational team if registration is closed.
