High Performance Spring League
High Performance Spring League (New for 2024)
BNB is pleased to announce a new format for spring programming for athletes ages 14-18 beginning this coming spring. The goal of the program is to introduce athletes to the BNB style of play that will be used with Provincial Teams, provide a fun competition format which allows the best athletes from around the province to come together to compete in while allowing the flexibility for athletes to continue with other spring commitments they may have.
2024 High Performance Spring League - Invite List
U18 Girls U18 Boys U15 Girls U15 Boys
As always, the program continues to update its curriculum which aligns with both Canada Basketball and New Brunswick's style of play. It is designed to allow consistency through Bantam Elite Camp, Jr/Sr EDP and our Provincial Team programs. The Spring League will be a key identifier of potential provincial team athletes, and is an integral part of establishing our provincial player depth chart which monitors player's physical and skill development.
To be considered for BNB Provincial Teams, athletes are required to participate in the High Performance Spring League (or follow the compassionate appeals process).
Only athletes selected from the High Performance Spring League or through a compassionate appeal process will be invited to the final Provincial Team Tryouts.

Provincial Team Connection: Spring League will be used to build a provincial depth chart for the 2024 Provincial Teams. BNB is looking for athletes who are dedicated and committed to improving their skills. High performance programs are designed to have all of our top players learning from an advanced skills-based curriculum to set the ground-work for these programs. Evaluations will be on-going throughout the training sessions and final showcase. Athletes wishing to be eligible for BNB Provincial Teams are required to participate the High Performance Spring League.
Canada Basketball Connection: In the event that BNB is allotted a male and/or female National Team Identification/Tryout spot, High Performance Programs will play a key role in deciding which athlete(s) will attend these national selection camps along with input from Canada Basketball based on their evaluations from the National Championships and the New Brunswick provincial athlete depth chart.
