Our club is open to all - returning and new members. Brand new to basketball - or lots of experience.

Basketball clubs have no specific boundaries but our core membership covers Montebello, Woodlawn, Westphal/Cherrybrook, Lawerencetown, Cole Harbour, Portland Hills/Baker Drive and Eastern Passage. We have lots of members outside of that area such as Porters Lake/Eastern Shore and other areas of Dartmouth. All are welcome.  Our teams practice typically at a gym somewhere within a 12-15 minute drive of Cole Harbour Place in any direction with most of our gyms being in Montebello, Woodlawn, Cole Harbour and Eastern Passage. 

Our Jr. NBA Program will be for those 5-7yrs old Boys and Girls looking to try basketball. This program will run once a week for the Fall, and will start in late September and run about 1 hour each week. Most groups will be Sunday Evenings, with one more group on Friday Nights. We will cap this program at 80 Kids this year - so register fast! This program does not include games, and is focused on skill-building and fun through basketball. Kids will receive a Jr NBA jersey to keep, and at program completion, we will give them a basketball as well. We are registered and associated with Canada Basketball and Basketball Nova Scotia. 

Our Club season registration will consist of the following age groups. 

Under 10 (Balancing Mid-September, Teams assembled early October, Games Saturdays starting the last weekend of October)

Under 12 (Balancing Late-September, Teams assembled early October, Games Saturdays starting the last weekend of October)

Under 14 (Balancing Late-September, Teams assembled early October, Games Sundays starting the last weekend of October)

Under 16 (Balancing Early-October, Teams assembled Mid October, Games Sundays starting Mid-November)

and Under 18 (Balancing October, Teams assembled Late October, Games Saturdays starting Mid-November)

Our club season fee of $390 includes all regular practices and league games and playoffs. Teams may enter extra tournaments and participate in additional exhibition games and team-building events that may require additional individual contributions. 

We will have teams for both boys and girls. Registration for our club season fills fast, with an anticipated 60 club teams this season - it's critical that you get registered early and secure your spot. 

For new families - we run a placement/balancing session to determine teams - and do our best to match players with like-skilled and experienced players. They will play against teams all over HRM that are balanced and placed in the same division (same skill level) as your athlete's team for hopeful fair play and balanced competition. No teams are predetermined, and our balancing sessions are important for new and returning players to get evaluated. The club season will consist of 1 to 2 practices a week with games vs other teams on Saturdays for U10 & U12 groups and Sundays for U14, U16 & U18 Groups. 

Because of the large number of teams and volunteer coaches, we align gym schedules based on the coach's availability as much as possible - and because of that and the limited amount of gym slots, it is impossible for us to let you know what nights of the week your child will have practice until the teams are made and coaches assigned. 

Our coaches are all volunteers and are a mix of parents and non-parent. We are a volunteer lead organization and are always looking for more community leaders to step up and help us lead teams, when we launch registration we will also have a registration section for coaches (head and assistant) as well as team managers. Please do not hesitate to step up. 

We are looking forward to another great season of Rockets Basketball!
