ABOUT US & OUR programs
-
Junior Coyotes Basketball was started in 2018 when we joined the PacWest for our first season in the CCAA. BC250 club basketball which began in 2014 was merged into Junior Coyotes Basketball. Since 2018 we have built a successful program intertwined within the community. It is our mission to educate and empower our players with confidence, commitment, and integrity, so they can live a productive, successful life. Our program emphasizes respect for teammates, peers and community by instilling a code of ethics built on honesty, integrity, responsibility and teamwork. Developing resilience and strong communication skills is at the forefront of our player development. It is our intention to create an environment where every player in our program can reach their full potential, develop their talents and skills in their game and most importantly in life.
