Testimonials

The ABA is where teammates become friends, coaches become mentors, and basketball becomes family. I spent more than a decade in ABA programs through my formative years and my only regret is that I did not sign up sooner. I still proudly wear my ABA shirts from various seasons. Much love!
Alex Antunes, ABA Alumni

We have been part of the ABA family for over 10 years with both our daughter and son. What began with Saturday morning programs expanded to include summer camps, 3x3 leagues, high school workouts and culminated in our son playing rep for the Knights! All of the programs are very well-run and the coaching staff is amazing! Their enthusiasm and knowledge of basketball inspires the kids to improve their skills and compete while respecting the game and all participants.
Jeff W & Joanne D, ABA Parents

As a former ABA player and coach, I cherish the countless memories and rewarding experiences. Coach Loucks is genuine in his pursuit to ensure every participant has a positive experience while attending the ABA and has always been there for his players and staff off the court too. All the coaches he recruits share the same passion and commitment and it translates to an amazing basketball program for everyone involved. I enrolled several friends and family members so they too can benefit from the program. Can't say enough of how much I loved Saturday mornings because of ABA!!!
Tameem Sharifi, ABA Alumni

ABA is such a wonderful sports program - my son has had a great time in it over many years, the summer camp as well! The coaches are so supportive and fun, we highly recommend ABA!!
Roberta Scott, ABA Parent

ABA gave me the opportunity to grow both on and off the court. As a player, I developed my skills and deepened my love for the game, which enabled me to play varsity basketball. As a coach, I built leadership and teamwork skills that I continue to use every day. I am truly grateful and proud to be part of the ABA family.
Daouli Lengema, St. FX University Varsity X-Men alumni, former ABA player, ABA MOP, and ABA Coach

Tailored skills development; inclusive teamwork and play; empathetic coaching; the leadership integrity of Coach Loucks & his team…these are among the key and consistent features of a wonderful program that enables participants to grow, to compete with confidence, and to learn true sportsmanship.
Ken Peel, ABA Parent and Supporter

Our son was part of the ABA family for 8 years. He had the good fortune to have coaches who were exemplary role models. They cared about their players, and their mentorship went far beyond the court. Aside from basketball skills and hard work, they emphasized the value of teamwork, respect, and supporting others. An experience such as this begins at the top. Thank you, Coach Loucks, for fostering an exceptional environment for players, coaches, and parents!
Lise Lacroix, ABA Parent

For five years my son played for and, later as he matured, served as a youth coach for ABA. The coaches were pivotal in helping him develop both his basketball and coaching skills, providing positive and specific feedback and always displaying a great example of sportsmanship. His teen years were so enriched by all the fantastic kids and adults he met through ABA, and it will always hold a fond place in our hearts!
Helen Kim, mother of Chris Noh

My son loves ABA! He likes the variety of formats and says the coaches are great. As a parent, I appreciate that the ABA program is well-run, available throughout the year, and great value.
Kathleen Niccols, ABA Parent

The ABA family and Coach Loucks will always hold a special place in my heart! As a former player and coach, I always felt as if the ABA gym was a safe space for me to develop as both a kid and a basketball player. Having gone on one of the European Basketball Tours that Coach has organized in the past, I know how generous and caring the foundation of this program is and know that the staff within this organization are expected to uphold and enact those same values in every game, camp, training session, or travel team that ABA is involved with. This is the perfect place for both fun and development of basketball skills!
