Canada Basketball has announced the launch of its ‘Summer of Basketball’ – a three-week national celebration highlighting youth development, community engagement, elite performance, and basketball culture. From August 4 to 17, the slate of events will include national championships, high-profile 3x3 and 5-on-5 tournaments, a concert experience, and the SuperClinic for coaches.
Manitoba’s basketball community will be well represented across multiple events. Both the Manitoba 15U Male and 15U Female Provincial Teams are set to compete at the 2025 Canada Basketball 15U National Championships in Oshawa, Ontario from August 4 to 9. Athletes were selected following open Provincial Team tryouts earlier this year. These national championships serve as a crucial development stage and competitive platform for Canada’s rising stars.
In addition, Manitoba will compete in the U23 Sun Life Canada Hoops 3x3 National Championships on August 9–10 at The Bentway in Toronto. Representing the province are top Manitoba athletes selected through the Summer Slam qualifier hosted at The Forks in July. The event will be free to attend and broadcast online, offering a high-tempo showcase of Canada’s top 3x3 athletes.
The summer continues with GLOBL JAM from August 13 to 17 at the Mattamy Athletic Centre, featuring international U23 teams in men’s and women’s 5-on-5 competition. Representing Canada are the Georgetown Hoyas (men) and Texas Longhorns (women), along with teams from Brazil, Japan, Puerto Rico and more.
To cap off the celebration, the annual Canada Basketball SuperClinic on August 15 will provide education and networking opportunities for Canadian coaches and officials.
Throughout all events, fans can expect support from major brand partners, interactive experiences, and widespread coverage from Sportsnet and Basketball Canada channels.
