The VSC U15 Elite team (14U Ontario) represented i

The VSC U15 Elite team (14U Ontario) represented in fine fashion at the prestigious 2021 Jane and Finch Classic in Toronto August 3-8. With an overall record of 5-1 and an average margin of victory of 30 points +, this team showed that they can more than compete with the top teams their age division in the Canada. Their only loss (1 pt) came in a hard fought overtime match against Zone 6 (Phoenix, AZ), on a foul called with .3 seconds on the game clock...granting Zone 6 two free throws to win the game.

The team sees this as a character building moment and will use the incredible Jane and Finch Classic experience as an opportunity for growth. Well done to the entire team for representing BC basketball and kudos to the three individuals for their leadership and exceptional play...Allstars: Isaac Brown and Cole Bekkering and Tournament MVP: Torian Lee.

Thanks goes out to Clayton Thomas and the entire Jane and Finch organizing team for this memorable and enriching basketball experience!

Thank you, Parents! As we put closure to a remark

Thank you, Parents!

As we put closure to a remarkable 2021 Spring/ Summer season for our U10-11 squad...we can’t help but pause to reflect on the amazing VSC parents that we are fortunate to have a part of our team. You truly make a positive difference in our experience as coaches and mentors.

Thank you for your trust, patience and unwavering support throughout this year of adversity and uncertainty. We are grateful that our young athletes had a safe place to play in the midst of it all, and that they are now able to enjoy this beautiful game of basketball through fun and competitive play!

We hope to see you at camp later in August and are looking forward to the upcoming 2021 Fall Season.

Enjoy a restful and healthy summer!

A big shoutout to Ramin Sadaghiani and the team at BC Basketball Events for hosting such a stellar tournament in the 2021 Western Canadian Championships this past weekend.

Throughout, Vancouver Sports Club represented in fine fashion, as three of the four teams entered in the tournament walked away with Championship honours and the coveted Western Canadian Tournament T-Shirt.

With hundreds of teams participating at the U10-U18 boys and girls division, the tournament ran flawlessly. It was refreshing to see all the teams competing and enjoying everything that the beautiful game of basketball has to offer.

Let us all wear orange shirts throughout this week

Let us all wear orange shirts throughout this week and stand in solidarity to honour the 215 children found buried on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. Yet another sad reminder of the cruelty and atrocities experienced by First Nations and Aboriginal Peoples in our country, and the world over.

Where possible, encourage your athletes to wear orange in your practices throughout this week and engage them in some reflective dialogue before they leave your sessions.

A Gentleman.

On Monday, February 8, the extended basketball community lost one of the greatest ambassadors in our sport with the passing of Tom Konchalski, who died of cancer at the age of 74.

As a highly respected high school talent evaluator in New York City and in the Northeastern regions of the United States, Tom was heralded as the most trustworthy, genuine and humble individuals in the business.  Consistently, Tom’s evaluations drew in the attention of notaries such as Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, Villanova’s Jay Wright, and many more coaching icons.  Tom’s memory and expertise were legendary, however it was his veritable spirit and the manner in which he treated those around him that was beyond reproach.

I was blessed in having the opportunity to get to know Tom, as I played for and coached alongside his brother, Steve Konchalski, the current and legendary Men’s Basketball Coach at St. Francis Xavier University.  Coincidentally, Tom knew my high school basketball coach in the Bronx, NY which came full circle influencing me to play for Coach K at Xavier.  As teachers, coaches and mentors, Tom reminds us all that it is not what you know or your talents that matters the most, but how you make people feel while doing your thing.

Thank you, Tom.  R.I.P.
