THANK YOU!
On behalf of the EBA Board of Directors, we would like to say THANK YOU for such a great season! If you would like to set up time to chat with someone about your player’s experience, please email your phone number to admin@edinabasketball.com and we will make sure to follow up with you ASAP. We look forward to having your family’s participation next year. Registration for our Travel Program (Grades 4-8) opens on August 1, 2023 while our House and Rec Programs (Grades K-12) open on September 1, 2023.

EBA Scholarship Recipients Announced
Each year, the EBA awards three memorial scholarships to high school seniors in our community. Each $1,000 scholarship is presented to individuals who were positively impacted by one or more EBA programs during their school years. Scholarship winners were recognized at the Awards Breakfast held at the Edina Country Club on May 19. This year’s recipients were Isabelle Nelson, Joely Emerson and Kyla Willette. Congratulations to this year’s scholarship winners!

Registration for Summer Camps and Clinics
If you are looking for opportunities to get your son or daughter out the house and into the gym this summer, look no further!

Registration is now open and can be found on the Edina Community Ed website. CLICK HERE for these and a comprehensive list of what’s available in and around Edina.
