Development Camps
2025 Camp Initiatives
The ALA Technical Team will travel to all LGBs throughout the province, offering day camps based on technical initiatives, and LGB needs, based on collaboration with Presidents and Executive Directors.
The U13 Development Camp returns for a third year of this iteration, this year condensing into one day, with a focus on offensive fundamentals and team skills. Current and potential coaches are encouraged to attend and interact on the floor throughout the day. There will be two 90-minute practice sessions for players and two additional coach sessions between practices. All sessions will be held on the floor, and coaches will be provided additional coaching resources and instruction.
The second day of development will vary based on LGB needs. It will be opened up to more age groups of players while still offering coaches to attend for additional information and tutelage from the Technical Team.
Camp details determined by LGB need.
