OBA Return to Play Update Coming Soon

Update: Return to Basketball

 

Ontario Basketball is missing its courts and its community!

 

We are anxious to return to the game we all love and recent announcements from the provincial government are cause for optimism.  The current Ontario guidelines pertaining to sport issued by the provincial government and public health authorities can be found at the following link – https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/200263.

 

Below Ontario Basketball has outlined a few points of clarification regarding the gradual return to sport.

 

Insurance

Ontario Basketball’s insurance explicitly excludes coverage for contagions, including COVID-19. As such, at this time, basketball programming and activities are not insured activities. Ontario Basketball will provide further updates as they become available.

 

Return to Play Guidelines

With Canada Basketball announcing the release of “Back To Basketball” on June 16, 2020, Ontario Basketball will be unveiling it’s Return to Play guidelines very soon.
