I was thrilled this past weekend to have the opportunity to play against such high-level players from across the province. I also really enjoyed the seminars that were offered which went over everything from the recruiting process and a day In the life of a college athlete to the entrepreneurial spirit and developing your personal brand. I would love to thank the coaches and organizers for making this happen.

Hi Terrell, Rhys had one of his best basketball seasons with The Grind U14. He loved the training and the tournaments for both Regional and Puma. He made strong friendships with his team mates. I can see his improvement. He continues to train on his own every
day. His dedication is due to his determination to be a better player and the unwavering commitment he had from his coaches. Thank you for a great season! We look forward to what’s next!

The Grind is the best and top tier program on Vancouver Island no question. Best community, coaches, environment for kids, parents, and families.

As a parent of a high-level athlete and an organizer of another AAU basketball club, I have experienced many youth sports programs, but The Grind stands out. My son, Jayden Henwood, and I participated with The Grind in the spring and summer of 2024, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The Grind offers top-tier training
in a family-oriented, supportive environment. Their communication with families is genuine and consistent, and their fees are extremely fair. The competitive basketball scene on Vancouver Island is excellent, and The Grind gives athletes the chance to play in high-level tournaments locally and abroad, including on the mainland and in the United States. Their participation in the prestigious Puma Next Pro 16 events shows their commitment to offering exceptional experiences for players at all levels. This is layered with big events in Las Vegas that give all participants a chance to experience exciting travel play. I highly recommend
The Grind to any family looking for a nurturing, high level basketball club, whether you are based on Vancouver Island or looking for additional experience from the mainland. It is a welcoming and affordable option for both beginners and advanced athletes. I have witnessed many athletes, including my own nephew,
advance from this club to high-level post-secondary teams, equipped with both the knowledge and skill to find success. The Grind doesn’t stop there, as they continue to support these post-secondary athletes in their journey.
