Parent Testimonials

"It was a great opportunity for my 9 year old who had never played basketball before. He came out of his shell, connected with others and on the first day learned some real skills that he brought into the second day."

Lydia M.Parent, Founding Basketball Clinic

"My kids loved it. They had been asking me about it since I told them and they were very engaged in learning and there were a lot of memory making activities. We look forward to next year's summer session."

Moses B.Parent, Founding Basketball Clinic

"We had such a wonderful experience at the IQ COURT basketball launch! My son had an amazing time. The event was welcoming, well organized, and created such a great environment for the kids to feel confident and excited about basketball. Although the location was a little far for us, I'm really looking forward to signing my son up when the North York location opens."

Fatuma M.Parent, Founding Basketball Clinic
