Coach Victor
Victor has been involved with basketball for a little over 13 years. He is entering his 4th year of Kinesiology, aiming to delve into Occupational Therapy or Sports Medicine. He began his basketball journey at the age of 10, influenced by his family and friends who were obsessed with the game. In middle school, he joined the Junior A team and soon after, he was honored with the MVP award. This recognition only intensified his passion for the sport.
He took part in several basketball clubs, including spending 3 years with the Jr. Huskies. This allowed him to compete against high-ranking clubs across Saskatchewan and even experience games in the United States. Going into his Senior year of high school basketball, his team won multiple 2A Provincial Basketball Championships at Hoopla, notably achieving back-to-back victories in 2018-2019 2A Hoopla. To add to these accolades, at the end of his Senior year, his high school was the only team from Saskatchewan invited to a high-profile tournament in the United States: The Energy Classic Basketball Tournament in Gillette, Wyoming. Following this, Victor participated in various basketball leagues in the city, including the Men's League, and played in tournaments across Saskatchewan and Alberta.
In terms of coaching, Victor has experience with the Saskatoon Youth Dream League, coaching various age groups, akin to The Basketball Experience. Even as his passion for coaching continues to grow, he eagerly anticipates inspiring the next generation of hoopers. Victor plans to bring the intensity and excitement to the players of the program. He aims to motivate them, enhancing their basketball skills, hoping they too can discover the love for the game that he cherished during his youth.
Coach Rhianna
Currently completing her Bachelor's degree in Sociology at the University of Saskatchewan, Rhianna is also proud to hold a certificate in Business Management. A native of Edmonton, Alberta, Rhianna's love for sports began with soccer, which held her attention until a move to Saskatoon in 2007 sparked a newfound passion: basketball.
Determined and driven, Rhianna joined various basketball programs, steadily improving her skills and making her way onto her high school's senior team for the last two years. Although she's a fan of tennis and biking during the sun-soaked Saskatoon summers, it's basketball that holds the top spot in her heart.
More than just playing the game, Rhianna enjoys sharing her passion for basketball with younger players, hoping to inspire them as much as they inspire her. Looking forward to meeting you soon, whether it's at the gym or on the court, she's excited to share her love for the game and the lessons it has taught her.
Coach Adrian (Adi)
