Gym booking information

Gym Booking information 

Please review the following important information:

Shared Gym Bookings

• If two coaches are listed under Coach/Status, the booking is shared between two teams.
• If you are the first coach listed, please ensure a coach or parent is available to let the second team into the gym at the correct time.
• Inform the custodian that another NEBA team will be using the gym that evening.

Practice Times

• Some teams have been assigned practice times outside their usual time slot because their regular gym is not available that week.
• Please read your schedule carefully to ensure you arrive at the correct time.
• If you cannot use an assigned practice time, please contact the gym coordinator immediately. 
  • Cancellation of gyms requires 16 days notice. In the case of inclement weather, call the school during school hours that day and let them know, otherwise all cancelations must go thru proper channels.

Extra Gym Times

• Throughout the season, remaining or unallocated gyms may be offered to coaches.
• Priority will be given to teams with only one-hour practices.
• Any unused gyms will be cancelled.
• If you would like additional practice times, you can check availability using this link: School Gyms Northeast Quadrant - move.learn.play. Send me a request noting the available gym, date, and time.
• Gyms cannot be booked on short notice; the City requires a minimum of five business days for all requests and bookings are not guaranteed

Bring Your Schedule

• Please bring your schedule with you to each practice (paper and digital). Custodians may ask for the Booking ID.

18U Coaches

• Gym times have been scheduled through the end of the 18U Fall season (November 8).
• Once you know whether your team will continue into the Winter season, please notify me so I can allocate gyms accordingly.

Gym Etiquette 

• How to be a responsible gym user
• Arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled time, introduce yourself to the custodian at your first practice, and if you are a U9 or U11 team, ask for the bar to lower the hoops as required.
• Check the condition of your gym each night, take photos if there are problems, and address it with the custodian. If you have problems, advise the NEBA Executive Director immediately.
• Ensure your team has non marking soles on their shoes so as not to damage school and other gymnasiums.  We are required to pay for damages caused, or we can lose the gyms. No outside shoes in gyms includes, coaches, parents and players.
• No food or beverages, other than water, are allowed for all gyms used by NEBA and EYBA.
• Siblings cannot participate in your practices. They are not registered players.
• Parents and siblings are to sit on the side lines and be respectful of the school - they are not to go outside the gym during your permitted times.
