Not only does it help you become a great basketballer but also develops necessary life skills (leadership, discipline and teamwork) to succeed in any goal you wish to achieve. All our athletes will be challenged but also supported to help push them to greatness."

"Being a part of Kingston, you're surrounded by coaches and athletes who have the desire to grow.

Leeson 

Coach

"The best part of coaching is to be given the opportunity to be part of an athlete's development and to go on that journey together. It's important to remember to enjoy the ride and try to turn frustration and bad games into a learning lesson. I think half the basketball battle is a mental game. So be positive and be confident!"
