The Respect Basketball Senior Squad is a Calgary Club Basketball program for boys and girls U16-U18. During the 2023 Spring Club Basketball season, Respect Seniors will harness and refine the physical skills of the game with 2 high-intensity practices per week. Respect players learn the philosophy of the game, skill-appropriate plays & strategies, rules & terminology along with character-building and focus on team camaraderie.
Respect Seniors are guided through the recruitment process for all collegiate levels of play, including ACAC, USport, JUCO, and NCAA. We assist our senior athletes throughout the recruitment process which includes a focus on your education as well as your skill on the court. Respect Basketball has a long list of contacts for all areas of collegiate basketball in both the United States and Canada. Senior travel teams will enter tournaments that showcase their talent in front of recruiters and coaches.
We know not all senior athletes are looking to play post secondary basketball — we support our athletes in whatever direction they choose to follow. Graduating Senior athletes who want to play their final season of club basketball and are looking for less commitment are welcome to evaluate for one of our local teams. We want you to be able to enjoy your final season of club basketball while balancing demanding exam schedules and graduation events.
