While March Madness in the valley has come and gone,  spring leagues are popping up.
     The 2011 DVSS Dynos Spring Basketball League is getting ready to hit the floor.
    The league offers competitive house league basketball for young people from elementary grades up to an adult drop-in league, a great opportunity for some exercise and to develop skills.
    The league is offering a spuds league. This is for co-ed players from Grades 4-6 and runs from May 4 through June 8. The league has a maximum enrolment of 30 players to make up three teams, and will play Monday and Wednesday nights from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
    The league is designed to help improve players’ team concepts and promote values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
    Dynos Athletics is again offering league play for junior high and senior high aged players. There will be separate leagues for boys and girls teams for players from Grade 7 to Grade 12. The boys league will have  a maximum enrolment of 40 players, while the girls teams have spaces for 30 players.
    The girls play on Monday and Wednesday nights from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. and the boys go from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
    This year they are also offering an adult league. This is for players over the age of 18. This is a great league for former players who have graduated and are looking to keep playing, or other members of the community looking for a fun night out and getting a little exercise. They play Monday and Wednesday nights from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.
    This year Dynos Athletics is looking at bringing basketball to a younger base of players. There are plans to run a small league or camp for youngsters from Kindergarten to Grade 3 on Sundays.
    Registration forms can be obtained at the DVSS office, or by  contacting Jeff Messom at jeff.messom@ghsd75.ca or at 403-823-5171.
    The deadline for registration is April 20, and draft night is May 4.

    Many valley minor hockey clubs are still finishing up their  post-season play.
