December 03, 2010 Taking Your Game To A New Level Over the last three months, BCWBS members have had the chance to participate in a number of game opportunities.

From Provincial Coach, Cheryl Corrigan - Dec 2010
December 03, 2010 Welcome to a brand new season!

High Performance practices started up at Douglas College early September, and have been going full tilt since then, including a six week appearance by Steve Ramsbottom and his chair skills sessions. I’m sure the athletes will agree with me that they were a most helpful way to kick off the season. read more...
