Elite Program

Where Creation Meets Mastery.

The Elite Program is designed for athletes who already have strong fundamentals and can apply them confidently in live play. At this stage, the focus shifts from using skills correctly to manipulating defenders, creating advantages, and leading possessions with poise. Elite athletes learn to see the game one step ahead — controlling tempo, recognizing coverage, and generating high-quality scoring opportunities for themselves and others.

This program is about transforming skilled players into decision-makers, athletes who can stay composed under pressure and influence the flow of the game.

Location: St. Joseph Catholic Elementary School, Markham

Date and Time: Friday 6 PM - 8 PM

Class Size: 4-6 Players

The Elite Program turns strong players into creators — athletes who can generate space, read pressure, and take over the game with confidence.

What Elite Players Grow Into

1. Confident Creators

Athletes learn how to create space, use timing, and apply purposeful movement to open scoring opportunities.

2. Advanced Ball Controllers

Players gain the ability to shape the pace of play — speeding up, slowing down, and disguising intentions to keep defenders guessing.

3. Multi-Level Scorers

Elite athletes grow comfortable attacking at the rim, in the mid-range, and beyond the arc through smart footwork, balance, and shot preparation.

4. Playmakers With Vision

Training emphasizes anticipation, reading pressure, and making the right pass at the right moment to punish defensive mistakes.

5. Players With Game Presence

Elite athletes develop leadership qualities — communicating, recognizing momentum swings, and making mature choices in competitive situations.

How Elite Separates from Select

Select players can connect skills and respond to defenders;

Elite players can create the situation itself.

Elite athletes don’t just execute — they initiate, shaping possessions through pace, angles, deception, and intelligent reads.

The leap from Select to Elite is the evolution from solid contributors to primary creators and decision-makers, athletes who can take responsibility for the offense and elevate everyone around them.

Who the Elite Program Is For

The Elite Program is designed for players who already possess strong fundamentals and can confidently apply their skills in movement and live game situations. These athletes are no longer learning how to execute individual techniques — they are ready to create advantages, lead actions, and influence the tempo of the game.

Elite is ideal for players who:

• Consistently demonstrate control, balance, and composure under pressure

• Can apply skills on the move and are ready for higher-level reads and decision-making

• Show emerging creativity in attacking space, changing pace, or creating their own shot

• Want to take on more responsibility as primary handlers, scorers, or playmakers

• Have the focus and maturity to understand spacing, timing, and defender reactions

• Are preparing for advanced rep play where creation, IQ, and poise are essential

The Elite Program is for athletes who are ready to move from “using skills” to commanding possessions, stepping into the role of creators capable of shaping the game.
