NORWAY HOUSE COUGARS BASKETBALL

TEAM SUMMARY - COMMUNITY, DEVELOPMENT & COMPETITION

The Norway House Cougars Basketball Team is more than a basketball team. We are a group of young athletes committed to developing our skills, representing our community with pride, and giving back to the people who support us.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Community service is an important part of our program. Our players learn that being part of the Cougars means giving back both on and off the basketball court.

• Clean and maintain local graveyards and cemetery grounds
• Help maintain the Pinawachi Care Home grounds, including cutting grass
• Take elders for walks and spend time with them
• Help with and participate in bingo nights
• Host basketball clubs and opportunities for younger players
• Hold regular basketball practices and help develop young athletes

These activities help our players develop leadership, responsibility, teamwork and respect while building stronger relationships with elders, youth and other community members.

PEG CITY SHOWCASE

The Cougars recently competed in the Peg City Showcase against some of Winnipeg's best club teams. We finished the showcase with a 2-2 record - two wins and two losses. Competing successfully at this level was an important accomplishment for our players and showed that athletes from Norway House can travel, compete and represent our community proudly against strong club programs. The experience gave our team valuable competition, confidence and exposure.

OUR MISSION

The Norway House Cougars are committed to building successful athletes, strong leaders and responsible members of our community. We believe success is measured not only by wins and losses, but also by the people we help, the example we set, the younger athletes we inspire and the pride we bring to Norway House.

BUILDING ATHLETES. BUILDING LEADERS. BUILDING COMMUNITY.
