*High school Girls Division*
Number of registrants will determine our programming for this division. All participants will be put on a waitlist so they won't be asked to pay until we decide which of the below list of progams we will be able to run.
- 60 or more we will run a full season with 6 teams. 10 regular season games and a playoff ($300)
- 30 or more we will run a 3-on-3 league at a reduced cost ($225)
- 20 or more we will run a 10-week program with 90-minutes each week with 45 mins of skill development and 45 minutes of scrimmage at a reduced cost ($150)
- less than 20 will result in no program
Team Selection
When drafting teams, we take into account the nights of availability for each player, their evaluation results, and other activities they participate in. The RCBA does take player requests in this division - if your player has a (one or two) friend they wish to play with, please email the request to rcba@sasktel.net or add it directly to your registration. These requests are taken into consideration but not guaranteed.
