Financial Assistance is available through external agencies to assist with the payment of NCBC registration fees. In order to apply for Financial Assistance you will need to first contact us via email registrar@thunderbasketball.ca, with details of which program each child is to be registered in. (Boys u13, girls u11, tykes, etc ). After we have received your request to be registered with the support of a 'Financial Assistance' program you will be required to make a registration deposit of $50 to secure your spot for the start of the new season. You then will need to apply for external Financial Assistance, if you are approved your deposit will be refunded if the amount received exceeds what is owed to NCBC. If the amount received is not sufficient, you will owe NCBC the difference which is due as per payment policies.
**All fee payments are required prior to evaluations.
For financial assistance for basketball registration fees, the KidSportTM Society of Calgary may be able to help. They have been providing assistance to children in need for the past 15 years. They work closely with families and local sport clubs, such as NCBC, to help pay a portion registration fees.
