Our coaches.

Coach Nicholas.

Coach Ron.

We don't do parent coaches. We have two military vets with decades of experience. One mission: develop disciplined, confident players who love the game.

Coach Nicholas and Coach Ron bring a combined 50+ years of high-level basketball experience, on the court, on the bench, and in uniform. Both competed at national and international levels as members of Canadian military teams, earning a reputation for toughness, precision, and performance under pressure.

Now, they channel that experience into developing young athletes who play smart, stay composed, and thrive in high-stakes moments. Their coaching goes beyond W's.
It's about self-respect, mindset, accountability, and real growth.
Meet the coaches behind the culture.
