House League

Vaughan Basketball 

The Premier Place to Play Basketball

The Vaughan Basketball Association (VBA) House League program is both competitive & instructional. Boys & girls aged 5-16 learn the fundamental skills of basketball, while competing in a fun & supportive environment.  Our Coaches are committed to developing individual skills, introducing concepts of team play and improving the over-all fitness levels of their players.

House League runs on Saturdays for fifteen weeks including playoffs. Teams are formed at the beginning of the season & participants are grouped according to their age and skill level. Players participate in skills development and scheduled weekly games that allow them to improve their game, their fitness level, and have fun! Playing time is regulated so that every participant will receive equal playing time.

House league participants will receive:

• 1 ½ hours of on court instruction per week, to be split between skills development & game play;

• A basketball & jersey upon registration;

• A participation medal at the end of the season. Each team will also have a chance to win a championship trophy.

The VBA believes that teams comprised of equal strength create a fair & competitive playing experience for all participants.  Teams are formed at the beginning of the season via evaluation sessions. Although there is no perfect system to guarantee balanced teams, every effort is made to achieve this goal, and team adjustments are made where needed.

For our 5-7 year old players, we have Junior House League, which is structured with the younger player in mind. There is an increased focus on fun & skill development at an age appropriate level, while still incorporating weekly game play.

Through their participation in VBA’s House League, players are also able to build on the critical life skills of self-esteem, discipline, commitment, teamwork, respect and sportsmanship – skills that will help them both on & off the court.  Many players have shown an improvement in their self-confidence through their participation in VBA’s House League that has encouraged them to continue their interest and passion for playing the game of basketball, some going on to play for our Rep Vaughan Panthers teams.
