Proud coach of Brantford CYO U14 girls. Basketball is more than a game , it is a way of life ! Love coaching and inspiring others to achieve more.

It's not how many times we get knocked down but how many times we get back up. https://t.co/Kg38yowLjl

Hey coaches and players in Ontario .
Quick question:
Should the 3pt line for U15–U19 be moved back to NHFS for regular OBA play?
@OBABBall @jdrice @LeoDoyle1
Please RT. @OBACoaching

[NextGenerationBaller @nextgenballer]

Dear @OBABBall , when can we expect the OBA locations and dates to be released?

[NextGenerationBaller @nextgenballer]

@CoachDoty Love it. Last year we put “Trust” on the back of our practice jersey as that was our theme for year.

[NextGenerationBaller @nextgenballer]

Dear @OBABBall , another league IMO just water downs the competition level even more. Top players already have options in JUEL and OSBA.
This G league seems like direct competition to JUEL , IMO.

[NextGenerationBaller @nextgenballer]

Dear @OBABBall , why another league?
Isn’t OBA, OBLX, JUEL and OSBA enough ?????
Makes me wonder if this another money grab !!!
I can recall when having the OBA was sufficient.
I can understand JUEL and OSBA but let’s face it the OBL was only created to stop other leagues.

[NextGenerationBaller @nextgenballer]

So my question is WHY?

[Ontario Basketball @OBABBall]

OBA is excited to announce the launch of a new competition structure for high school girls’ basketball at the club level – the G-Elite League!

The league will feature Junior (U15/U16) & Senior (U17/U19) teams.

If you don’t get clear answers to all (or most) of those questions then it would be a red flag for me.

Finding the right fit for your child is so much more important for their development and enjoyment than being on the “best” team.

[Mike Kenny @mike_kenny3]

- How many out of town tournaments are planned?


- (If playing recreational/house league) Will the club be offering a “Selects” team (essentially an all-star team from the pool of recreational players)?

[Mike Kenny @mike_kenny3]

- What is the team’s philosophy on winning? And how will this affect how playing time is awarded?


- How many players will be kept on the team?


- What is the expected practice to game ratio? (depends on age of players but should be 2:1 at the very least)

[Mike Kenny @mike_kenny3]

- Who will be coaching the team? (and then speak to others who have played for said coach - requires some extra leg work but is worth it)


- What kind of support, if any, do the coaches receive? (training, mentoring, accountability etc)

Advice for parents!

Decisions about where your child will play their organized 🏀 are just around the corner.

Unfortunately, players end up in not great situations b/c the most important factors weren’t considered.

Here are some tips to find the best fit for your child:

[NextGenerationBaller @nextgenballer]

Super happy to announce that I have been selected to coach the @bcyogirlsbball U16s for the upcoming season.
Tryouts to be announced in near future.

[Women’s Hoops Network @WomensHoops_USA]

Anyone looking to play college ball in Canada this fall? @coachbballTM and Dalhousie University are looking for some players especially if you’re a big who has a big presence inside and can crash the boards. Being a transfer is also a plus. Shoot her a message! ❤️

[NextGenerationBaller @nextgenballer]

@jdrice Totally agree. I have also been on stands just as a fan and often feel like passing out applications to be both a coach and a ref !

[NextGenerationBaller @nextgenballer]

Great read !! I am super fortunate to have a great group of parents .

[Coach King @CoachJaisonKing]

Certain coaches will bring out the best out of certain players.

Whether you're playing JUEL Prep, JUEL, OSBA, Rep or AAU, make sure you find your fit. Don't just go to a team because your friends are there, your parents want you to go, or it just seems cool.

Always advocate.
