Basketball – Nutana Pickles

The Pickles are back! The Pickles are a Nutana-based basketball club for kids aged kindergarten to grade six. Now in our 5th season the Pickles have 3 rules: Have fun, try your best, and work as a team. The club is run by volunteer parent coaches and administered through the Nutana Community Association. No previous basketball experience is required to participate, but your child must want to play basketball. This is not a childcare service and all participants will be expected to be together on the court, having fun and trying their best. The registration fee includes a Nutana Pickles tee-shirt + toque.
