House League Programs

Our House League Programs are recreational basketball programs for boys and girls ages 5 to 18 years old.

Coaches are committed to developing individual skills, introducing Brampton Basketball concepts of team play and improving the over-all fitness levels of their players. Participants have shown improvement in their self-confidence levels and this has encouraged them to continue their interest and passion for playing the game of basketball.  House League exposes players to a competitive, but friendly environment, while also offering opportunities to train and excel to a higher level on and off the court; for example, through our REP Program.  Players who excel and are recognized in our House League Programs are promoted and given the opportunity to participate in our Select Programs.
