The goal of the Junior Ravens Basketball Program is to provide junior basketball players with the opportunity to maximize their potential through age appropriate skill development for continuous improvement. The program will also give young players the chance to stay fit, develop friendships and have fun while learning techniques that will be the building blocks for more advanced learning in the future.

Program Structure

The Junior Ravens Basketball program has 2 sessions which take place in the FALL and WINTER. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer a spring program.

The 2024 WINTER PROGRAM includes:

  • All games & pratices take place at Carleton University’s renowned Ravens’ Nest and Norm Fenn Gym, two of the finest basketball venues in Ottawa.
  • Skill development sessions coached by our experienced Ravens coaches, varsity and representative players in order to foster a consistent environment for development and learning.
  • Skill development sessions will take place on Wednesday evenings where players will work on an age appropriate program to improve and reinforce skills in areas such as: ball handling, shooting, footwork, defense and team play.
  • Game days will take place on Sunday afternoons.
  • Parents can remain in the Ravens Nest on Sundays for game days. Due to the smaller size of our Norm Fenn Gymnasium we ask that only one parent/guardian accompany their child(ren) to watch the program on Wednesday evenings.
  • Each participant will receive a Junior Ravens basketball jersey.
  • Players will be placed in groups of 10-15 people and will remain in their group for the duration of the program.
