2020-2021 REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
BASKETBALL BEGINS AGAIN
Vipers Basketball is very excited to be taking our first steps towards training and playing the sport of basketball. As a club we are very anxious to getting back to providing programming for the game we all love. Covid-19 has presented us with a very unprecedented situation. Rest assured however that the Tri-City Vipers Basketball Club is intent on providing safe and quality basketball programming to our basketball family. Our club's ability to adapt to the current global circumstances has in fact made our club that much stronger, as we have many dedicated players, coaches and volunteers working together to make our 2020 experience one to remember as a positive turning point in all of our lives.
Note: Due to COVID-19 the 2020-21 season will begin in January 2021

Return To Play Guidelines Released
Updated as of June 27, 2020
As information has been released, we have now received the Return To Play Guidelines from both Canada Basketball and more importantly Basketball Nova Scotia. If you would like to review this information, we have attached the documents to the right.
While this information is a positive sign, this is only the first step. The documents provide a guide as to what guidelines all basketball organizations will be required to follow for resuming basketball programs. Please understand that Tri City Vipers Basketball does run our programs through the Halifax Regional Centre for Education (HRCE) as well as many Universities and Colleges. Unfortunately, at the moment the schools have not been reopened and thus we are not able to resume programming until this happens.
As a guide, please review the Return to Play documents to the right to understand what basketball might look like when we return. We are working actively to develop plans so that when we resume we have followed the required provincial guidelines. What we are confident in saying is that playing basketball in the form we previously did will not be the case.
Basketball will most likely start off with a form of individual and small group training all while practicing physical and social distancing. Once we have a timeline to resume play, we will ensure that we provide our own Return To Play Guidelines to ensure the safety of all participants, parents, staff and related members.
Once we have more information, we will release this information and email all participants.

EXPECTATIONS
Coaching any sport can be an extremely rewarding experience but it also can be one of the most challenging. It is important that all Viper coaches understand the expectations and commitments placed on them when they apply and agree to coach one of our teams.
Reminder that taking your NCCP course but not getting certified is the same as not taking it all. We highly recommend getting certification done as these will play into the selection process.
