Summer Development Academy
U15 & U17 Girls
The Ottawa Youth Basketball Academy in partnership with the Carleton University Women’s Basketball
program is pleased to announce our inaugural Summer Development Academy. The summer development
program will help develop the entire athlete preparing them for elite competition and playing basketball at the
University or College Level. The program’s focus is purely on player development not on competition. The
program will follow Basketball Canada’s Elite Development Model focusing on basketball skills like ballhandling, shooting, passing, footwork, on-ball defence, team defence, and strength & conditioning as well as
developing situational IQ. The program is open to any girls who have competitive basketball experience either
through a school team or club competitive team.
