Mentorship Program (Open to 3D Elite Players Only)
This eight week program is offered exclusively to athletes who are interested in pursuing their dreams of playing at the next level. This program offers athletes an inside edge into a university training program. Partaking in the program will expose athletes to multiple on court workout sessions per week as well as one off court session with the university athlete.
Athletes will be mentored by their university player who will communicate drills and various work out exercises in order to further their individual skill development at an extremely intense level. It is expected that the athletes will rise to their highest potential, both physically and mentally, by pushing their abilities. The mentoring and environment that will be created extends far beyond the court, as the intention is to foster and develop the athletes overall basketball experience in addition to the understanding that basketball is a tool to be used in the game of life.
There are a number of different coaches that are available - allowing all positions, ages, and sexes to participate in the program. The emphasis and importance in determining which university athlete will be best suited to train the athlete is crucial in the goal of placing the athlete in a group to achieve their maximal development. Thus, there is an application process to determine which group the athlete will be placed with. Spots will be very limited based on the athlete’s commitment and coach’s availability.
Coaches for the mentorship program are as follows:
MALES: Sean Burke (SFU), Kevin Shaw (SFU), Dan Evans (Capilano College), Ben Frisby (Waterloo)
FEMALES: Kaitlyn Burke (Nebraska), Kristen Hughes (UVic), Alex Vieweg (UBC)
We invite you to attend an important meeting this Sunday, 130-200pm @ Andre Piolat to give an overview of the program and to answer any questions you may have regarding the 2008 Mentorship Program.
