Program Structure
The elite season is divided into 3 seasons (Fall, Winter, and Spring). Each season provides athletes with a different aspect of preparing for competitions.
Environment
The goal for our coaches is to create a fun, safe, and competitive environment where athletes not only strive to become better versions of themselves but push their teammates to do the same.
Fall 2024
The Fall season will focus on conditioning athletes for competition and developing basketball fundamentals. Team sessions will focus on fundamentals, skill development, and gameplay awareness.
Winter 2025
The Winter season will focus on skill development in small-group training environments. Athletes will participate in 3 different kinds of sessions. Perimeter shooting development, ball handling and interior shooting development, and strength and conditioning.
Spring 2025
The Spring season is our travel and competition season. Travelling rosters for the Spring will be announced the first week of March. The Spring competition schedule will be available in February. Team events in the Spring will focus on preparing athletes for the tournaments. Even if your child is not travelling the preparation will benefit them.
Attendance
Attendance is crucial for development; it is also a central component in how we decide which athletes make travelling rosters. Our goal is to provide the best basketball experience we can for your athlete, and we need them to be present as much as possible to maximize the experience.
Practice Uniform
Athletes must wear athletic wear (shorts or pants), indoor basketball shoes, and a water bottle. Please make sure your child brings a water bottle to all team events.
Travel Competitions
Athletes that are part of this program will compete in tournaments across Western Canada. Unfortunately, we can only take 12-player rosters to these tournaments.
Travel Accommodations
We provide travel and stay accommodations for athletes on tournament weekends. The accommodations cover travel there and back and a shared room with other NTB teammates. The costs will vary per weekend.
Spring 2025 Registration Payment Deadline
Your athlete’s Spring 2025 registration fee ($294.00) must be paid by May 1st. Please contact grace@northerntrailblazers.com if you have any questions or concerns.
