Available Financial Aid
The EBA will once again provide financial aid to families who qualify for the ECF’s Connect Card program. If your player currently has an active Connect Card, simply contact Giovanna Ingram at questions@edinabasketball.com and she will provide you with the appropriate discount code to use during the registration process. If your player does not have an active Connect Card, CLICK HERE for more information and to complete an application. Once approved, please contact Giovanna for a discount code.

House and Rec Coaches Needed
The EBA’s House and Rec Programs are parent-coached programs which require nearly 200 volunteers annually. Parent coaches serve as ambassadors for these programs, creating a fun, safe and positive learning environment for all players. The EBA expects its coaches to embrace the idea that they are important role models and that their positive actions will have a lasting impact on their players. If you share this mindset, we hope you will consider coaching this season. CLICK HERE to register. Please note: all coaches must pass a criminal background check each year and complete child safety training and concussion certification once every three years.

Travel Coaches Clinic
We are excited to announce that University of St. Thomas Head Coach Johnny Tauer will be joining us for our Travel Coaches Clinic on Saturday, October 7. This clinic will take place from 9am to noon in the EHS Activity Center. Coach Tauer spoke at our Coach Appreciation event last year and it was so well received that we would like all Travel parents to hear his message this year. Please save the date and plan on attending! Light refreshments will be provided. Following Coach Tauer’s message, EHS Varsity Coaches Jon Bryant and Dre Jefferson facilitate on-court breakout sessions specifically for Travel Coaches in attendance. Parents will be dismissed before the breakout sessions at approximately 10am.
