Volunteer
Southwest Basketball relies heavily on volunteers from the community in order to deliver all aspects of the program to the hundreds of youth involved each year. Teams are expected to provide volunteers every game for scorekeeping and timing.
VOLUNTEER POLICY
In order to ensure that we honour our volunteer commitment to the EYBA and our communities, and to ensure the program continues to operate, a Volunteer Deposit policy is in place that requires a post-dated cheque that will be returned subject to fulfillment of your volunteer commitment.
There are many opportunities to get involved including coaching, team administration, and the EYBA casino.
If you are interested in volunteering for any of the team level positions, please speak with your child's Coach. As they come available, all other volunteer roles will be posted HERE.
