Our High School Girls Elite Program will consist of 4 teams for the 2024 Club Season. We will have 18U, 17U, and 16U teams for the season. This program will be focusedholistic 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.

Our 18U teams are the oldest age group within the club program and will attend a variety of tournaments and programming to make up their season. Based on previous years’ experience, our 18U program will play either a regional or US + regional schedule (see details) - we find this to be the best fit for this age group. Upon selection, the team will decide on traveling to the US.
