RESPECT SENIOR SQUAD (U16-U18)

2024-25 RESPECT FULL YEAR BASKETBALL PROGRAM - SEPTEMBER 3, 2024 to JULY 1, 2025

The Respect Basketball Senior Squad is a Calgary basketball program for U16-U18 boys. Full-year athletes will focus on refining and mastering their individual skill development while learning more high school and college level (game) concepts. Not only will our Respect Senior Squad continue to harness the physical skills of the game, but all Respect athletes will also engage in weekly Respect Training to learn the philosophy of the game, skill-appropriate plays & strategies, rules & terminology along with character-building events such as community service, team building, and more.

Respect Seniors are also guided through the recruitment process for ACAC, USport, JUCO, and NCAA teams. We assist our senior players throughout the recruitment process which includes a focus on your education as well as your skill on the court. Respect Basketball has a long list of contacts for all areas of collegiate basketball in both the United States and Canada. We also focus on entering travel teams into tournaments that will showcase your talent in front of recruiters and coaches.

Winter Skills Training: November 18 - March 7

The Respect Basketball Winter Skills Training involves high-intensity, individual skill development, and training that is geared toward practical game situations. We want all our players at this age to make their respective middle school and junior high school teams and we have insight into what those coaches are looking for so we have built our program around that premise. This skill development will focus on sharpening fundamentals up to ELITE status skill work. This is not the army - YES, we work very hard, but we do it in an enjoyable atmosphere so all you need to concentrate on is getting better. Give us a PERFECT effort and we will give you the platform to be as successful as you desire. You only get better if you are pushed to be better!
