Each year, Canada Basketball hosts a nationwide competition for provincial and territorial U15 and U17 teams. Nova Scotia has been proud to field teams for the last 25 years.
In addition, the Canada Games—a national multi-sport event—is held every two years, rotating between summer and winter sports. The 2025 Canada Summer Games will take place August 8-24 in St. John’s, NL, and BNS will be sending both a U17 girls and boys team.
In a non-Canada Games year, BNS would send both U17 and U15 teams to the national competition. This year, there will be a boys and girls U15 tournament, and the U17 boys and girls will compete at the Canada Games in place of a Canada Basketball national competition.
Our 2025 Canada Games and U15 coaching staff can be found [here].
