Jeff Boelhouwer

A lifelong resident of Burlington, Jeff Boelhouwer spent his youth while playing several sports at an elite and highly competitive level. He continues to endorse a healthy, active lifestyle and still enjoys competing (as an aging athlete), in several sports.

Jeff has coached community, school, and club-level sports since he began teaching in 1991. Among other things, Jeff coached soccer and basketball in Burlington at the rep level, with his Burlington club basketball teams having won Division 1 Provincial Championship medals many times, including an atom girls “Division One” gold in 2007. Jeff is also currently a “Learning Facilitator/Coach Evaluator” for Basketball Ontario and has traveled throughout Ontario meeting and mentoring coaches. He has run many successful basketball camps and clinics and has coached many “travel” teams in AAU-style tournaments throughout the US.

Jeff understands and endorses a long-term athlete development model, and believes strongly in building life skills, fundamental movement skills as well as sport-specific skills. He has taught Physical Education to students from JK – Grade 12 and has always strived to make learning fun. He promotes building a competitive spirit while teaching respect and sportsmanship. He is keenly aware that coaches are role models and takes that responsibility very seriously. Jeff is thrilled to be involved with coaching youth basketball in Burlington.
