WMBA Spring Registration - Season Cancelled
The WMBA hopes you and your family are all doing well and staying safe. It's important for us all to work together to get through these unprecedented times.
I know many of you have been patiently waiting for an update on the 2020 Spring League. We have been closely monitoring the situation and waiting for updates on possible start updates for facility usage through both school boards and city facilities. Unfortunately at this time, there is no date in sight, which leaves us with the difficult decision of canceling all Spring programming.
The WMBA understands that participants are facing a tough time right now, both socially and financially. The WMBA Executive Committee has been communicating weekly, and with the season cancellation, has decided to refund all participants minus the credit card transaction fees. The WMBA is 100% membership-driven with no base funding from the government and as a not-for-profit organization, the WMBA operating budget depends solely on our basketball community.
Fee/Refunds:
We will start issuing refunds on Friday, April 17th. The WMBA will have more than 3000 transactions to refund so it will take some time to process over the next 2-3 weeks. Please stay patient. We are hoping to have them all processed by the end of April.
WMBA Community League
Refunds will be issued as 2 separate transactions and you will see a transaction fee applied for each as follows:
Transaction 1: The WMBA League Fee ($110) - You will see $105.50 coming back to your credit card, after transaction fees.
Transaction 2: The Community Club Fee - You will see $45-$100 coming back to your credit card (depending on your club), minus the transaction fee.
Jr NBA Program
Ages 5-6 Community Centre Program Fee - You will see $135 coming back to your credit card, after transaction fees.
Ages 7-19 North Star Prep Program Fee - You will see $193 coming back to your credit card, after transaction fees.
Ages 10-12 North Star Prep Program Fee - You will see $218 coming back to your credit card, after transaction fees.
If you have not received your refund by
April 30th, please contact
info@wmba.ca with your child's full name, community club, and age of the program. After this date, the WMBA will be closed.
I would like to thank all of you for supporting the WMBA throughout the 2019-2020 season. I know many of you have been involved in our Fall/Winter League, the Jr NBA program, as well as our Spring League program. Your support means the world to us, thank you so much for being part of our organization this past season. As much as we’re extremely disappointed not to be able to offer our Spring League program, we will begin looking ahead to some potential Summer programming for the first time and of course the Fall/Winter 2020-2021 season.
Jerseys/Equipment:
If you currently have equipment or jerseys from previous season's please contact your convenor as soon as possible.
