THUNDERBIRDS WINTER 2026 SESSIONS

TRAIN WITH USPORTS MEN AND WOMEN’S ALGOMA BASKETBALL PLAYERS & COACHES

This program focuses on individual development and training, featuring instruction from our varsity players.

For older age groups, the curriculum will focus on individual skills, team concepts, and strategies. This will be taught through a variety of drills, small-sided games, and competition.

For younger age groups, the focus will be on fundamental movements and individual skills, complemented by small-sided games.

Program Goal: The Junior Thunderbirds Basketball Development Program aims to enhance and improve players’ individual skill levels through fundamentals, quality instruction, and coaching. We strive to establish a positive and enriching environment based on teamwork, sportsmanship, and having fun.

Both of our varsity basketball programs are eager to help teach and share their love for the game. This is a tremendous opportunity for participants to be coached and mentored by USPORTS athletes and experienced coaches.
