ABOUT THE SPORT
Hoop it up this season in a ESSC Basketball league. Practice your jump shot, lay-up and defensive skills on the hard court. It’s a 5 on 5 game, with a minimum of two females on the floor at all times. We offer Recreational, and Recreational Plus divisions. All games have a Coordinator present but you are expected to call your own fouls and be responsible for your own play. We encourage you to play with a ‘fun-first’ attitude at our various medium and large sized gyms at schools located throughout the city. After your game, meet-up with your team mates and other ESSC players while enjoying exclusive specials at one of our many Sponsor Bars around Edmonton.

 

 

WHO CAN PLAY?
Adults aged 18 and older may join any of our Basketball leagues. The levels offered this Fall include Recreational, and Recreational Plus. We welcome full teams, small groups (5 or more players but not a full team), friends (2-4 players) and individual registrations. Small group, friends and individual registrations are combined with other similiar registrants to form a team that remains together for the duration of the season.Click here for more info.
