Peg City Basketball Youth League © 2025
What is the Canada Basketball Fee?
The Canada Basketball Fee is a $9 annual payment that goes directly to Canada Basketball (renews every September). We've separated it from the regular registration fee to ensure that it's only paid once per year. This change saves you money -- you now only pay it once per year, even if you play in multiple leagues or on more than one team in the same season.
For example, if you paid it for CBL league in Fall/Winter, you won't need to pay it again for Sea Bears Youth League in Spring. Or if your CBL team plays up in Showcase, you will only have to pay it for the first team.
Is financial assistance available?
Yes, financial assistance is available through KidSport. To apply, visit KidSport Winnipeg. Once your application is approved, KidSport will send us a cheque, and we will refund the amount they approve.
Please note that refunds are typically processed in batches during the first week of the following month.
When is my next CBL game?
To help avoid conflicts for coaches involved in both Showcase and CBL, the Clubs request that we schedule CBL games on weekends without Showcase events in Fall. This ensures players in both leagues get their coaches fully available and not split between programs.
After Showcase wraps for Fall, CBL shifts to a weekly schedule in January featuring 10-11U on Saturdays and 12-13U on Sundays.

What if a player is being too aggressive or not playing fair during a game?
Referees are responsible for managing player behavior during the game, including aggression or unsportsmanlike conduct. While they aim to catch all incidents, some non-serious infractions may go unnoticed, this is part of the human element of officiating. Even at the professional level, 100% accuracy is hard to achieve. If you feel something serious was missed or not handled properly, you can file a formal complaint with MABO (Manitoba Association of Basketball Officials), who oversee referee conduct and standards.
What if I have a problem with how a referee was calling the game?
We understand that not every call will go your way, and it's natural to feel frustrated at times. However, our Code of Conduct encourages coaches, players, and spectators to respect the decisions made by officials, they're a key part of the game and do their best to make fair calls in real time. Like anyone, referees can make mistakes, and 100% accuracy is tough, even at the professional level.
If you believe there was a serious concern, such as unprofessional behaviour or officiating that affected the safety of the game, you can file a formal complaint with MABO (Manitoba Association of Basketball Officials). They oversee referee training and performance. We encourage this step only when truly necessary, and appreciate everyone's efforts to keep the game respectful and positive for all involved, especially the players.
