Basketball Training in Burlington

Training, classes, lessons — same session, different words

Some Burlington parents call what we do “basketball training,” some call it “basketball classes,” some go looking for “basketball lessons.” The Canadian Martyrs program covers all three — the same weekly HoopStars session, not three different products.

Every session mixes coached skill work — shot form, dribbling, footwork, passing — with a short game to apply it. That’s the entire model.

What a Burlington session actually looks like

Warm-up, then rotating skill blocks: 10 minutes handle, 10 minutes shooting form, 10 minutes finishing at the rim. Then a small-sided game for the last third. Group sizes are capped so every kid runs every drill.

One venue, one program

Canadian Martyrs Catholic Elementary is our home in Burlington — same curriculum and same coaching approach families see across the rest of the HoopStars network, on a fixed weekly slot.

Beginners are the norm

A large share of every Burlington season is kids taking their first basketball lessons. Coaches sort by skill within each age band so first-timers train with first-timers.

When training moves into games

Once the mechanics stick, kids can layer game day on top — the structured Burlington game format with referees. Camp weeks are not offered at Canadian Martyrs; families willing to drive can add a week at basketball camp in Mississauga (a separate location).

For every HoopStars program at every Burlington venue, see our Burlington home page. All-girls option (across the GTA): girls basketball. Younger kids: toddler or preschool basketball.
