What is JUEL?
JUEL of Ontario is an independent basketball league that provides opportunities for female athletes from grades 8 to 12 to advance to the next level.
The JUEL League provides a ladder for players looking to play at the next level. Regular practices with, and against, the best players in their region, along with games against the best players in the province, have proven to be a recipe for success. JUEL’s relationship with the NCAA, U Sports, and OCAA has given players the best exposure and opportunities for basketball success.
JUEL Academy is for players in grade 8, JUEL Prep is for players in grades 9 and 10. JUEL is for players in grades 11 and 12.
What is the Player Commitment?
The JUEL League is an Elite level league and requires additional commitment from the players.
There will be three regular practices a week and 11 scheduled game weekends (1 preseason, 9 regular games, 1 championship weekend). The player commits to attending all practices, games, and tournaments with a positive attitude and keeping up with their schoolwork.
All players committed to play on a JUEL or JUEL Prep team cannot be listed on a roster or play on any other team(s) in other leagues during the current season (October 2025 – June 2026). This includes OBL, OBLx, OSBA or any other competitive team. As always, the only exception is the Girl’s High School season, which begins in September and ends with the annual OFSAA Championships in November.
