Our 2026 Fall Academy Club Teams are built for athletes seeking high-level training, competitive tournament play, and growth within a positive, team-first environment. A majority of practices and training will take place at our home facility the Edmonton Sports Centre (9880 47 Ave) featuring 3 hardwood courts and 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.

Flexible payment plans are available, and athletes can apply for grant funding through KidSport and Jumpstart.

For families needing additional support, GOOD Hoops offers fundraising opportunities and customized payment options. As a not-for-profit organization, we’re dedicated to reducing financial barriers and providing every athlete with access to a high-quality development experience regardless of social, economic, or educational background.
