21Hoops Basketball
FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Toronto, ON – 21Hoops Basketball may be a new
organization, but you can say it has been 25 years in the making.
The
club was serendipitously started by long-time friends Mike Millar, Terry
Campbell, and former sports agent Jermane Skeete while travelling and coaching
with a summer AAU program. During a conversation about what they would like to
see happen in the Canadian basketball scene, the trio realized they all shared
similar visions and goals. They wanted to harness their respective basketball
expertise, explore alternate coaching options outside of the Ontario Basketball
Association (OBA) and provide skill development and additional opportunities
for student athletes as they progress in basketball and in life.
The
three were strongly committed to taking control of how they saw Canadian
basketball and its development, and thus, 21Hoops Basketball Inc., was formed.
Since
its inception, 21Hoops has formed alliances with organizations such as Canada
Elite, and is also a big supporter of the Canadian Youth Basketball League
(CYBL), with all the 21Hoops teams participating in the league this season. The CYBL has expanded to include additional
age divisions and more clubs this season.
The
21Hoops organization comprises players and coaches from across the GTA, from Whitby
to Oakville, and the West teams primarily practice in the Mississauga, Brampton
area while the 21Hoops East teams train out of Scarborough.
Future
goals for 21Hoops include plans to expand their current program with player
development initiatives such as 21Hoops House League (slated for 2015/16). They
will continue to run open development clinics and camps like the 21Hoops Elite
Skills Clinic that was introduced in August which had Dave Tyndale, who was
recently signed to the Brampton A’s.
21Hoops
will be holding tryouts for the U13 (Grade 7) boys East team on September 6th
at the Audley Recreation Centre (ARC) in Ajax and the U14 (Grade 8) boys west
team on September 8th and 11th in Mississauga at the Carmen Corbasson Community
Centre.
