Welcome to the 2025 House League Mid-Season tournament!
This years event is split over two weekends:
-U12-U14 Boys & Girls (Dec 19-21st)
-U16-U19 Boys & Girls (Dec 12-14th)
In order to be eligible for participation, teams must confirm that they are a HOUSE LEAGUE team (no competitive or selects teams are permitted without express written permission ahead of time), with all players rostered on the same team. Teams cannot add additional players outside of their normal roster without first contacting the tournament organizers and receiving permission in writing to do so. A follow up conversation with your association’s VP of House League/club president will also be required to ensure teams are balanced and fair.
Tournament organizers can be reached at: info@ottawashootingstars.com
Teams must also play by the Ontario Basketball age classifications for 2025-26:
- U12 (born in 2014 or later)
- U14 (born in 2012-2013)
- U16 (born in 2010-2011)
- U19 (born in 2007-2009)
If you have a mixed birth year roster, your team must be registered in the age group of the oldest player on your team.
Ex: 11 players are born in 2014, and 1 player is born in 2013 – The team must register as a U14 team (age of the oldest player).
