Welcome to the
Airdrie Minor Basketball Association Website


Airdrie Minor Basketball Association is a not-for-profit, community based, volunteer organization that is one of 18 member associations playing in the Calgary city leagues.

Want to know more about AMBA? See our FAQs.

Hotline 403-912-7995. It will have the practices and/or games that are scheduled, including changes in venues or times for that day.

Registration and AGM are on September 9, 2010 at 7:00pm in the Bert Church cafeteria. Please bring a copy of the player's Alberta Health card, proof of age (e.g., birth certificate), a cheque for the season's fees and a cheque for the uniform deposit.

Please note that Midget, Juvenile and Junior teams play a split seasons (fall and winter), to accommodate players that play on high school teams. Generally, AMBA has one boy and one girl Midget team that do not play the winter session. Players on those teams that do not make their high school teams will be moved to another Midget team. If you are planning on playing high school basketball you can come out for the fall season and get your shot back on track.

The AMBA board requires volunteers for its Treasurer, Secretary and Tournament Co-ordinator positions. If you would like to fill one of these positions, please let us know or show up at the AGM and nominate yourself.
