GIRLS & BOYS U10 - U19
OUR COMPETITIVE CLUB PROGRAM
ABOUT Burlington Force
Burlington Basketball has a rich and successful history competing at the highest level in both Ontario and against competition in the United States. Many of our alumni have graduated to play at Canadian colleges and universities along with others who have accepted scholarships in various NCAA programs. As a community-based program, we strive to create an inclusive culture where all athletes can excel and reach their full potential.
Burlington Basketball offers three levels of representative basketball programs; Force Elite, Force & Force Select from the U10 to U19 age group. These teams will be coached by some of the best, most experienced basketball coaches in the City of Burlington and focus on the fundamentals of individual and team skill development. Unlike some other clubs, each our coaches and assistants only coach one team per season resulting in a focused, disciplined and family environment.
This program is developed for younger athletes who want the rep experience but not might be ready to play in or commit to a demanding rep schedule.
