WMBA 2025 Season Update: Houseleague Select (HLS) Program
For the 2025 season, WMBA will introduce Houseleague Select (HLS) teams in the 9U, 11U, 13U, and 15U age divisions. This program replaces the Dedicated Select (DS) model used in 2023 and 2024. After two seasons of trying the DS model, we believe players will benefit more from the HLS format, which aligns with our community-focused approach.
Key Highlights of the HLS Program:
- Age Divisions: 9U, 11U, 13U, and 15U
- Tryouts: Will be held in Fall for the upcoming season. Successful players must register for both Houseleague and HLS.
- Houseleague Participation: Players will continue to play in regular Houseleague games in Waterdown.
- Practices: Teams will have dedicated practices on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
- Tournaments: Teams can participate in up to three tournaments during the season.
- Provincials: Teams can opt to compete in the OBA HLS Provincials over the Labor Day weekend.
- Exhibition Games: Teams may schedule exhibition games with other HLS or DS teams throughout the season.
- Team Structure: Players on HLS teams will be evenly distributed across Houseleague teams.
Additionally, as the 13U DS Provincial Host for 2025, we will continue to have a DS team in the 13U division, which will compete in the COBA league.
