In order to honour Stephen Eisen’s special contribution to girls’ basketball, a player from each girls’ division is awarded a plaque in his memory. Stephen – a parent and coach – passed away suddenly in November of 2000. In each division, coaches nominate girls who best exemplified the “inspirational” qualities of enthusiasm, team spirit and love of the game.

In Oct 2023 a communication will be sent to older House League (HL) players regarding HL Refereeing.

Our Referee convenor will be in charge of selecting an evening in early/mid Oct 2023 when all interested players will have the opportunity to register and have a short training session.

This will apply for all players born in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

The North Toronto Basketball Association will have a girls rep team at most age groups for players who wish to participate at a more competitive level.
