The big news for basketball families in Edina this year is that the Edina Basketball Association (EBA) and the Edina Girls Basketball Association (EGBA) have officially merged.  The merger was the culmination of months of work on both sides to provide the best of all our collective programs to all the boys and girls in Edina. In addition to streamlining information-sharing, scheduling and registration for parents, the combination of the EGBA and the EBA will formally consolidate and coordinate the best practices, policies and talents of both associations, providing improved access to programs, coaching and facilities for all participants.  Now there is one stop for all basketball families in the community, traveling or house, boy or girl, 1st grade or 12th, the Edina Basketball Association is your home.
