Community. Development. Competition. The Grizzlies Way.
The Grizzlies Basketball Winter House League is all about keeping kids active, connected, and excited to play. This 12-week program brings young athletes from across our community together in an environment built on encouragement, teamwork, and fun. With divisions for ages 5 to 17, the league welcomes children and teens of every skill level.
Our coaches focus on teaching strong fundamentals while creating a place where players feel supported and included. Games and drills keep athletes moving, learning, and building confidence. Families can expect a lively gym each week (full of energy and laughter) where friendships grow as easily as skills do. Whether a player is brand new to basketball or already developing a passion for it, the Winter House League offers a community-centred experience that inspires active living and a love for the game.
