MKMBA - Moncton Minor Basketball and DGC partnership
We're
pleased to announce that MKMBA is returning this year as an Event
Partner. MKMBA is sponsoring UNB Varsity Reds to come to Moncton a day
early, on October 20th, to run clinics at a number of local middle
schools.
On the evening of Oct 20th, from 7:30pm- 9:00 at the Moncton Coliseum, UNB Varsity Reds coach Jeff Speedy joins up with Moncton Miracles head coach Norris Bell to run a coaching clinic open to all minor coaches, middle school and high school coaches. The clinic is free of charge to all coaches, and is made possible by the support of Moncton Kiwanis Minor Basketball. Thanks MKMBA!
High School Program- Developing Young Student AthletesAnother unique and interesting aspect of our tournament that we're pleased to continue this year is our HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM , where local high school varsity teams are 'paired' with one university team throughout the tourney.
