TORONTO’S LOCAL BASKETBALL PIPELINE

We explore why Toronto has seen a growing number of prep school teams dominate Toronto’s basketball scene, the training resources and spaces available to aspiring young basketball players in Toronto, and why making your way to the top doesn’t just take talent.
Read our two feature stories by Teru Ikeda that look at why, in a city that’s fallen in love with the Toronto Raptors, the very scene that develops and supports the growth of future NBA prospects is becoming more inaccessible. Teru also takes a look at the profound impact the Canadian Elite Basketball League has had on local basketball players and coaches.
We’re partnering with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) to host a 5X5 basketball tournament and Story Circle in the Garden District. Join us on Oct. 19, 2024 to listen to the experiences of athletes who have navigated Toronto’s local basketball pipeline. Register your team before spots fill up.
Coming soon.
