Testimonials

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

The ABA is an excellent place for players of all ages to refine their skills, meet life long friends, and have fun! Having worked with the ABA as a coach, I saw first hand on how dedicated both the coaches and the players are in getting better and playing/teaching the game they love. Coach Loucks does a remarkable job in fostering a strong basketball culture founded on respect, discipline, love and dedication. Best youth basketball league in Toronto hands down.
Louis Floras

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

Many years after Becky had finished playing at the ABA, I called Sean to ask if he had any photos. I really didn’t expect any. A bit later, having searched through years of photos, he sent me wonderful pictures of ‘Becky in action’. I loved them, and so did Becky, my now grown daughter. That says it all. Besides being an exceptionally knowledgeable coach and wonderful role model and leader of the ABA, he is also such a kind and generous person.
Don Jones, Dad of Becky Jones

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 was a great experience for my son when he was introduced to Coach Loucks almost 10 years ago. Not only were there clinics, house league and training sessions to join but there were other opportunities to participate in, the Gamecocks tournament, playing on the Raptors home court, volunteer opportunities and a trip to Europe to name a few. My son learned incredibly valuable skills both on and off the court. Coach Loucks is not only a great coach but a very kind person and it shows in his leadership as well as with the staff and volunteers that work with him.
Peggy Tsukamoto, mother of former ABA player

My son participated in the ABA program for many years. Coach Loucks was a great mentor whose coaching and teaching manner inspired and motivated Alex to mature and gain confidence on and off the basketball court. Thank you for providing a fun, safe yet challenging environment for kids to be themselves.
Ana Antunes, ABA Parent

My son played, coached, toured and taught with ABA. He had great opportunities to develop his basketball and leadership skills.
What I feel was the most valuable skill, the most compelling reason to have him involved, was that there was a respect and concern
that was equal for each player and member of ABA no matter what age or position they held - average or awesome.
Rosemary Sadlier, ABA Parent and Supporter

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!
Shintaro Tsukamoto, former ABA Player and Coach

The ABA is a terrific basketball program, teaching kids the fundamentals of basketball and making it a fun experience for all. But what I admire most about the program is that the coaches are some of the best leaders I've ever come across, emphasizing that the best players are also the best teammates and the best humans. The lessons my kid will take away extend far beyond basketball.
Stephanie Hodnett, mother of Owen Hodnett
