About TC Basketball

Focusing on becoming 1% Better EVERYDAY, on and off the court.

For over 20 years, TransCanada Basketball has helped young Chilliwack basketball players reach their maximum potential both athletically and personally, transforming skills learned on the court into leadership skills off the court.

We believe that club and spring basketball is an opportunity for all basketball players at all levels to get a chance to work on their individual and fundamental basketball skills and increase their overall basketball IQ in a supportive environment without the focus on wins/losses and overall success of the team. Our focus is making sure our players come out at the end of club season feeling more confident in their skills and the understanding of the game of basketball.

As I now look back at my time as an athlete for Trans Canada, I can say that some of my fondest memories on and off the court are with Trans Canada basketball. My experiences with coaches is nothing but positive and my close friends became best friends through this program.  I was able to continue my basketball journey playing at the University level because of what Trans Canada did for me.

TC offers opportunities for all ages and all skill levels. Through multiple programs TC is able to offer a positive experience to every young athlete in the community interested in playing basketball. TC offers introductory experiences to the game through  skills sessionsand elite opportunities which include playing the very best club competition in British Columbia, Nevada and Washington State. TransCanada graduates continually move on to play at the College and CIS levels.

TransCanada allowed me to belong to a community where we learn, grow, and support each other.  I moved from being a developmental player to elite travel team player and eventually a coach.  All of these experiences helped me develop into a better player and person.

Early in the development of the TC program a mandate was set to surround our athletes with the very best local coaches. Today we believe TC has combination of veteran experienced coaches and young qualified coaches all of who have played at the elite level.

TransCanada Basketball helped me reach the next level by providing an opportunity to play basketball against top level players. The multitude of tournaments that I attended with TransCanada introduced me to great players and furthered my drive to go to the next level. The coaching gave me a second approach to what I needed to do to achieve elite status. The different American tournaments are a great show of talent and helped me realize what level I needed to get to.

TC Basketball provides the opportunity for young athletes to pursue their dreams, encourages and develops leadership traits, character skills, dedication and perseverance. We provide top quality individual and team coaching and inspire a passion and respect for the game of basketball by teaching, training and focusing on the fundamentals of the game.

If your goal is to be good at your craft, you have to put extra time in. This is especially true for basketball. Playing during the spring and summer is vital to your success as a player and TransCanada was how I spent my spring and summer. Without TC, I wouldn’t be half the player I am today.
