PLATINUM FALL & FALL/WINTER BASKETBALL FOR GIRLS AND BOYS U13, U15 AND U18.
OPPORTUNITY
CoMBA has created a Platinum Basketball program and is offering the opportunity to select teams to participate in an elevated more competitive atmosphere running under Platinum Basketball Fall/Winter policies.
HOW IT WORKS
The teams will be evaluated and selected during the Kodiaks Fall/Winter program evaluations. The top 16-24 athletes during the Kodiaks evaluations have the potential to be called back for an additional weekend of evaluations to create the Platinum Teams. The athletes will be given the option over a 48 hour period after the initial evaluations to opt into the Platinum Fall/Winter policies with the possibility for some additional playing opportunities. The policies for both programs can be found under the KODIAKS OR Platinum tab for more information. Please read these policies carefully to understand what fits your athlete best for their development. PLEASE NOTE: ALL TEAMS ALSO FALL UNDER CoMBA POLICIES, so please ensure to read and understand the general CoMBA policies as well. PLEASE ALSO NOTE: In all CMBA organized events the CMBA policies will supersede the Fall and Fall/Winter Platinum policies where there are discrepancies.
REGISTRATION
All players will register for the Kodiaks Fall or Fall/Winter program pending age. Once registered you will automatically be evaluated. As stated above, those athletes selected for a return evaluation will be given the option to add the Platinum package to their registration once they make the team. The refund policy will be the same for all players. Please ensure you have read the policy and understand the refund process. If you are not selected for the Platinum team you may not qualify for a refund and it is assumed you will play the Kodiaks community season.
COST
There will be a price increase announced at the time of evaluations to play under the Platinum program; please ensure this fits within your athletes best interest before opting into the additional evaluation process. The fee will be processed immediately upon team selections.
U13 CONTINUATION
The U13 team will continue directly into the Winter program and players will continue to play through the CMBA winter programming and be included in the playoffs and provincials.
U15 CONTINUATION
The U15 programs will end at the end of the school team tryouts. Once players know the outcome of their school team tryouts they will take 1 of 2 options only. If they are selected on a school team and choose to take the position, they will only play on the school team. If the player does not make their school team they will have the option to play within the CMBA winter league. U15 players that do not make their school team will have the option to complete a merge with other Kodiak Community teams in U15; this will allow athletes who do not make a school team to continue playing through the CMBA program for winter/playoffs and provincials. These U15 players will play under the Kodiaks Community Policies and are expected to adjust and follow the policies upon the switch of teams. There will be no additional cost to continue playing in the winter/playoffs. Please see information on Provincials to find out the associated fees. The Platinum to Kodiaks transfer players will be expected to cover any Provincial fees required by the provincial policy.
U18 CONTINUATION
The U18 programs will end at the end of the school team tryouts. Once players know the outcome of their tryouts they will take 1 of 2 options only. If they are selected on a school team and choose to take the position, they will only play on the school team. If the player does not make their school team they will have the option to play the Kodiaks Community Winter U18 program. Please see the Kodiaks U18 Winter League page for more information.
