Basketball
A great place to play ... an even greater place to learn!
The RNS Prep Boys’ Basketball program for Grades 10-12 is dedicated to the overall development and growth of young student athletes preparing to play at the next level. Students who play basketball on the Prep Boys’ team receive an outstanding academic experience while playing basketball in many of the top-rated showcases and tournaments in Canada and the US, as well as competing in the National Preparatory Association (NPA) based in Toronto.
The boys’ program is a two-term sport that allows students to work on strength, conditioning, and skill development in the first term, with the competitive season predominately starting in the second term. The long-term goal of the program is to help student-athletes develop consistent habits to sustain a motivated, university caliber player who is prepared for the next level, both on the court and in the classroom.
The program also provides year-round, one-on-one mentoring, with training and certified coaching by a former university and professional basketball player. Students have access to strength conditioning coaching designed specifically for basketball. Students also maintain a personal portfolio to help monitor their progress toward individual academic and athletic goals.
