WHO WE ARE

OUR HISTORY

2011 marked the genesis of the Vancouver Sports Club and the team’s vision to contribute to the development of grass roots basketball in the Vancouver Mainland and the Fraser Valley areas of British Columbia.  The plan was to unite a passionate and accomplished group of like minded coaches who understand the value in investing time and knowledge in young players during their developmental stages. By 2012 Vancouver Sports club was running on all cylinders with a committed and experienced coaching staff, locations in various areas of the city and a powerful mandate to teach core basketball values that benefit the city’s youth on and off of the basketball court.

OUR MISSION

PROMOTING EXCELLENCE IN SPORT FOR YOUTH IN BC

Vancouver Sports Club is an incorporated not-for-profit youth sports association that offers children of all ages year-round opportunities to participate and enjoy the game of basketball in a supportive and fun community setting in the Lower Mainland.

Recognized for its success and leadership in the field of youth development, VSC promotes excellence in sport as a way of developing character and leadership skills, while encouraging excellence in academics. Here at VSC we provide an extended family to assist young people in becoming valuable contributors to their communities. VSC’s offers basketball training and development for youth beginning at the most formative stages of their learning and development through unparalleled access to exceptional experienced coaching and mentorship.

In addition to having extensive coaching experience, many of our coaches are young parents and educators who have competed and/or coached at the highest levels in the sport. This includes high school and university, to the Canadian National Team and professional leagues around the world. By offering select coaching to children beginning at the grassroots level, VSC will introduce and guide its members through the game of basketball, taking them far beyond the X’s & O’s of the sport.
