Saskatchewan's Top Basketball School
Every July and August, youths of all
levels of athletic ability and playing experience
attend YAS
summer basketball school weekly camps.
During a YAS camp,
they quickly improve
their basketball skills
so that they can later excel on their school
basketball teams.
The YAS "Quick and Smart"
basketball skills development methods are unique.
They are derived
from the high school basketball skills program developed by researchers
and educators
at the University
of Victoria, home of the UVic Vikes,
perennial Canadian University Basketball
Finalists and Champions.
YAS uses the best available equipment. Basketballs are supplied
by Wilson Sports:
the same "NCAA Solution" and "Evolution"
leather balls used in the American
College Basketball "March Madness" and the Final Four
Tournament.
Thousands of YAS graduates have played on high school and university teams
across Canada.
Last winter season, YAS
graduates were on every Saskatchewan-based
team that played in the
prestigious Luther Invitational
Tournament (LIT) in Regina and
the
Bedford Road Invitational Tournament (BRIT) in Saskatoon.
YAS graduates were on the rosters of 29 teams that played in the
2009 Saskatchewan
Provincial High School Hoopla Basketball Championship
Final Tournament
held March 19 - 21 in Regina, Saskatchewan.
10,808
players from 259
different cities and towns have graduated from
YAS summer camps since 1983.
Players from 47 cities and
towns graduated from YAS sessions
during July and August 2009.
YAS camps are held each summer
throughout July and August in Regina and Saskatoon.
