Our programs not only focus on individual skill development but also encourage teamwork, sportsmanship, and camaraderie. We strive to create a positive and supportive network where athletes can connect, learn from one another, and celebrate their shared passion for the game.
Guided by the Canadian Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) system and Canadian Basketball Athlete Development (ADM) model, our programs teach young athletes basic fundamental movement and basketball skills in a safe, fun and healthy learning environment.
We focus on the FUNdamentals:
I. Fundamental Movement Skills
FMS provides the "building blocks" of physical literacy and activities. Categories include: balance, running, jumping, catching, throwing, skipping, leaping and hopping.
II. Foundational Basketball Skills
Basketball skills centred around ball-handling, shooting, offensive moves, defence, and inside play & rebounding.
III. Confidence and self-esteem
A safe environment where children can learn about success, failures, taking risks and supporting teammates.
We work closely with our athletes in creating a personalized workout program that includes SMART goal-setting, identifying areas of improvement and many repetitions. Each repetition is a building block for what you are trying to accomplish.
Our 3 Pillars:
I. Skill Work
Our skill workouts are a combination of technical and functional game-like drills. We emphasize teaching fundamental footwork, shooting, ball-handling, passing, offence and defence designed to help athletes challenge their potential. We provide immediate feedback to ensure each athlete remains accountable for their set goals.
II. Fitness
We offer a balanced athletic development of all physical performance components: ABCs (Agility, Balance, Coordination), strength, power, speed, endurance, and flexibility.
III. Game Awareness & IQ
We use mindfulness techniques as a basis for our teaching. We help athletes to understand the game and learn the importance of details through film study, basketball decision training, and small-sided games. 3Cs: Concentration, Confidence, Compete.
*All athletes must complete a personal assessment before the commencement of the program.
