Our Skill Foundations Program places an emphasis on individual player development - providing athletes with the space and time to deepen their understanding of the details that go into becoming a skilled player. Athletes will have the opportunity to develop situational skills in a controlled setting before applying the skills in small sided 1on1 games. Each training session will have a different point of emphasis and the situational skills we work on will build into our small sided games for the evening.

Please make sure that your child is registered for a training session aligned with their current skill level.

Sessions labeled "DEVELOPMENT" are for athletes who are not currently playing for a competitive team and may be experimenting with basketball for the first time.

Sessions labeled "COMPETITIVE" are for athletes who are currently playing for a competitive team (ie. Kingston Impact, Brockville Blazers, Belleville Spirits, etc.).

Our Grade 9/10 "DEVELOPMENT" session is tailored towards grade 9/10 boys who are serious about improving their game with aspirations of playing on their high school basketball team this fall. Grade 9/10 competitive athletes should inquire about our Semi-Private training program!

KIBC HIGH PERFORMANCE

The Kingston Impact Basketball Club (KIBC) has partnered with YXU Basketball to deliver a 6 week high performance skill development program to kick start the youth competitive season. Costs for this program are included within the 2026/27 KIBC team fees and athletes selected for the top KIBC U11-U14 teams will receive more information about team training times and locations following team selection! Athletes will have the opportunity to add on an additional 5 weeks of skill development following the conclusion of the program leading into Christmas break!
