RDMBA follows Alberta Basketball guidelines for age divisions. This means age divisions are broken down by year of birth, not a "playing year". While other sports may segment players by age groupings up to a certain age, transitioning to grade-based age divisions, year based age divisions ensure consistency and simplicity, while employing fairness in player development and competition.
Players will not be permitted to play up a division without approval from the Executive Director. It is not recommended that players play up a division, and stay within their division through 13U. Overage players are not permitted, per Alberta Basketball guidelines.

We also recognize the area we serve falls under the Métis Nation of Alberta’s Region 3. We strive to continually build strength and relationship with one another, offering our gratitude to the First Nations and Métis who have and continue to care for and teach about our Earth, our relations, and our connection to one another.
