Our 15/14U Girls Elite Program will consist of 2 teams for the 2024 Club Season. This program will be focused on holistic athlete development & exposure to high-performance basketball. This program will be focused on holistic athlete development in line with Canada Basketball’s LTAD (Long Term Athlete Development Model) & exposure to high-performance basketball for whatever is next for them.

The 15U teams will attend a variety of tournaments and programming to make up their season. Based on previous years’ experience, our 16U program will play either a regional or US + regional schedule (see details) - we find this to be the best fit for this age group to allow flexibility for families. Athletes will still have the option to travel to the US if they would like to.
