TOURNAMENT HOME

Welcome to the 2008 U17 Boy’s and Girl’s National Championships in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island!

Canada Basketball is honoured to be part of this event that features some of the best young athletes from across the country, each representing their provinces.  As the national governing body for basketball we are focused on the development and growth of the sport at all levels. The U17 National Championships is an exciting showcase for the future of Canadian basketball, and is a testament to the hard work and diligence of our basketball community.

Canada Basketball aims to unite, celebrate and support basketball across Canada as it continues to grow and mature. We are confident that the National Championships, in addition to the National Elite Development Academy, Steve Nash Youth Basketball, and the many grassroots programs offered in each province will all make significant contributions towards Canada becoming a world leader in basketball.

I would like to thank Basketball PEI and the Local Organizing Committee for all their hard work and efforts in hosting and staging this event.

Enjoy the games!
