Welcome to Aušra Sports Club ! 

Aušra Sports Club was organized to provide a quality basketball experience for children of Lithuanian descent.  Based in Toronto, Canada, Aušra competes in local house leagues and in international tournaments hosted by similar junior basketball organizations in the US and Europe.

 

 Upcoming Events and Updates

Dear Ausra Member:

As you have certainly heard, there will be a Sportų Švente held in Lietuva next June /July.  The Lithuanian Sports Clubs in Southern Ontario got together and decided that as respects basketball we will send all-star teams comprising players from Aušra, Anapilis, Vytis and Hamilton Kovas.

Try-outs for these all star teams will be open to all members of Aušra (and members of the other organizations) starting in early September.

Some points to consider:

  1. The cost of the trip is expected to be in the range of $2,500 to $3,000 per player – depending on cost of flights.
  2. The basketball tournament will be held between June 25th and June 29th so you must be able to get there at least a day or two before hand. In certain cases this may mean ending school a few days early
  3. Fund raising efforts will take place to alleviate the cost of the trip.
  4. The organizers will provide food and lodging for athletes and coaches from June 24th to June 30th only – after that you are on your own financially.  After the completion of the games, each team may decide to tour Lietuva for a period of time.
  5. Parents will be required to make their own arrangements including accommodation, meals etc

We will post new information as received.

Please send any questions to info@ausra.net
