JUNIOR BOBCATS
The Junior Bobcats is the Brandon University affiliated club basketball program that trains and competes out of the BU Healthy Living Centre.
 
"The Junior Bobcats program was well received last year and we are excited to offer it again," says Bobcats women's basketball coach Novell Thomas. "
 
"There are many kids in the region who love the game and want to play and compete outside of their school seasons. This is their opportunity to do so."
 
Try-outs for each of the U14, U15, U16 and U17 teams will take place at the Healthy Living Centre on March 25 and 27.
 
Junior Bobcat athletes will participate in two to three practices per week for 1.5 – 2 hours, as well as take part in competitive tournaments both in Brandon and outside the region.
