Holly (Pagnan) Sine

Holly grew up playing basketball in Brantford and finished her 4th year as a varsity athlete at the University of Toronto with an Ontario University Championship (OUA) an OUA All-star award and an 8th place final ranking in Canada. In her final year of high school, Holly won the CWOSSA title with North Park Collegiate and the Ontario AAA Provincial title with the Brantford Selects (combo team CYO-Briers).

She coached the Tri-Campus University of Toronto league for 2 seasons, worked with youth for many years at summer camps, and is starting her third season with the Burlington Force coaching staff.

Holly’s coaching philosophy is centered around game-time readiness. This means that both the physical/technical skills along with the knowledge/understanding skills are honed to empower the athletes to be successful on the court to capitalize on each possession of the game. Holly is a big proponent of girls in sport and is excited that Burlington Basketball is recognizing and supporting the need for more girls to participate in basketball at an early age and throughout high school. Holly encourages parents to adopt and foster an I CAN DO attitude with their athletes, if they believe they can do it and stay focused on being positive they will.
