Welcome to the Arnprior Basketball Club - Valley Pride
Despite the CUPE strike being resolved, as of Tuesday November 8th 2022, the permits for the Arnprior Basketball Club have not been reconfirmed at this time. Practices will still be cancelled this week until the school board advises otherwise. You will be hearing from your coach as soon as more information is received.
Note: The U10 boys and U10 girls scheduled for November 8th will be rescheduled and added to the end of the clinic dates.
Below are the practice schedules for the 2022/2023 Valley Pride competitive teams. As we have done in the past, if there is enough interest at any level we will try to have both a competitive team to play in the EOBL and a house-league team.
