A Message from the OYBA

Hello Ottawa Elite and Ottawa Elite families,
 
We wanted to take a moment to update you on the developments in our planning for basketball activities this season. Our Executive team has developed a few different strategies on how we want to proceed for this season, however, each of these strategies are contingent on getting access to gymnasiums and the directives from Ottawa Public Health, Canada Basketball, Ontario Basketball Association, CYBL and JUEL Ontario.
 
Our governing bodies have indicated that basketball clubs can begin to train athletes, but no competition is allowed at this time. This means that any basketball activity would be developmental and respect physical distancing guidelines. The number of athletes and coaches in a facility would be limited and athletes would have to have their own basketballs etc., as sharing of equipment is not permitted.
 
We hope to have more information to share with you in the upcoming weeks and we look forward to having our players and their families back as soon as it is safe to do so!
