SBA basketball programs including house league, rep teams, tournaments and camps, for boys, girls and youth serving the Scarborough, Toronto, Pickering, Ajax and Markham areas.
Formed in 1996 as a non-profit organization, the Scarborough Basketball Association (SBA) has a simple game plan – to provide youth in and around the Scarborough, Toronto, Pickering, Ajax and Markham area with the opportunity to grow and enjoy life through the sport of basketball.
For some of our youth, the SBA will be a launching pad for a successful basketball career in college or university. Some may even go on to become professional players, based on the fundamentals that we helped them develop. However, for most, the SBA and its basketball programs are simply a means of building character, developing friendships and having a whole lot of fun.
The philosophy and commitment to the youth is simple:
• train and teach basketball fundamentals to all age levels
• emphasize the importance of teamwork for all participants
• practice the ideas of health, discipline, hard work and dedication |
|
• teach acceptable social behaviors in sport
• give at risk or disadvantaged youth the opportunity to participate in the program
• provide an affordable REP program
• keep the welfare of the player first and free of undue pressure from coaches or parents |
The Scarborough Basketball Association is a registered non-profit organization, run and coached by unpaid volunteers. We believe in putting athletes first and winning second. Over the past 10+ years of existence, we have placed Scarborough on the basketball map in Ontario, by producing great basketball players and organizing completive tournaments.
The SBA develops players via outstanding house league programs beginning with players as young as five all the way up to nineteen year olds. In addition, it organizes rep teams for both boys and girls in all divisions ranging from U10 (Novice) to U19 (Junior). Our season starts with the Rep Academy in September and is completed at Basketball Ontario Provincial Finals in April and/or May. We offer at each level (AAA, AA, A), highly completive sanctioned tournaments for boys and girls in Scarborough with teams participating from around Ontario and the United States.
