SAFETY FIRST
Sun Youth basketball follows Canada Basketball’s safety standards, in our playing environment and care of athletes. All basketball coaches at Sun Youth have completed SafeSport training, adhere to the Coaching Association of Canada’s Rule of Two and are in national learning streams that deal with concussions, emotional and mental health, and more.
Anyone who has experienced or witnessed abuse, harassment or discrimination is invited to contact Canadian Sport Helpline.
MORE THAN SPORTS
Our athletes’ well-being is important on-court and off. We encourage healthy lifestyles through sport, nutrition and education. For our organization, academic success is as important as athletic success. Children who want to be part of our basketball, football or hockey teams must do well in school.
SPHERE
BASKETBALL CAMP
Sphere Basketball, created in 2009, allows young players passionate about basketball to develop their individual technical skills during the summer. Several Sun Youth athletes participate in the camp each year. A donation will allow a Sun Youth kid in need to participate in the camp for free.
WALL OF FAME
Many of our former Hornets were able to pursue their dreams at the college,
university, and even professional levels. We call them our wall-of-famers.
