A majority of practices and training will take place at our home facility the Edmonton Sports Centre (9880 47 Ave) featuring 3 hardwood courts + S&C amenities.
Teams will take part in regular practices and compete in local, regional, and U.S. tournaments (where applicable), with programming grounded in the Canadian Long-Term Athlete Development Model to ensure each athlete builds a love for the game and the develop appropriate adaptations to continue playing basketball at a high-level.
We emphasize a safe, enjoyable, and challenging learning environment that develops skills and decision-making through a constraints-led coaching approach—preparing players to perform effectively in real game situations.
