PLAYER ELIGIBILITY
Please carefully read the following age based playing divisions, as outlined by the AAU (Amature Athletic Union). These designated divisions support the spirit of competition by ensuring that players compete against other players who are at the same age level. A player may qualify under the age exception rule if they have been advanced in grade due to academic excellence or parental preference.

Private Training
Coach Clay the Trainer
Head of High Performance
I am the Head of High Performance Training at Vancouver Sports Club and the club’s lead performance coach, with nearly two decades of experience developing athletes at every level of the game. Since 2007, I’ve built a career as a player, coach, and trainer—working with everyone from beginner youth athletes to NBA-level talent.
As a former professional player and award winner at multiple levels, I bring firsthand knowledge of what it takes to compete and succeed at the highest stages of basketball. My experience spans the AAU circuit (including UA and PUMA), high school, and collegiate programs, along with international playing and coaching experience across multiple countries. I’ve trained and competed alongside elite athletes, giving me a clear, practical understanding of the standards required to reach the top.
My approach to training is rooted not just in technical expertise, but in lived experience. I’ve overcome multiple catastrophic injuries and rebuilt myself back to peak performance. I know what it means to start behind, to struggle, and to ultimately rise through discipline, resilience, and relentless work. That perspective shapes how I develop athletes—not just physically, but mentally.
I’ve worked extensively with youth athletes, helping guide players toward collegiate (including Division I) and professional careers. My focus is on long-term development: building strength, skill, confidence, and a mindset that translates beyond the game.
I don’t just train athletes—I prepare them to meet the demands of the highest levels, and to push past the limits they once thought defined them.
