After School Basketball for Christ is a faith-based after-school basketball program for families seeking a Christian alternative to formal after-school care. Utilizing the game of basketball's natural requirements for discipline and cooperation to teach life lessons rooted in Christian values.

We are based in Burlington, ON, Canada. Our main location is out of Brant Hills Community Center, however we occasionally move sessions to Tansley Woods Community Center due to city programing priorities and gym space availibility. See calander page for a detailed schedule.

While basketball serves as our primary tool for engagement, we also provide homework assistance/tutoring, a healthy after school snack and influential Christian mentorship.

As a faith-based program, faith is our key cornerstone on which everything else is built. We incorporate prayer into every session and encourage youth to develop their own personal relationship with Jesus Christ while challenging them to memorize scripture through fun games and contests. While teaching young student athletes how to balance their athletic passions with their educational responsibilities through influential Christian mentorship that's focused on building healthy habits, discipline, and confidence that last a life time.

Absolutely! While all are welcome, this program was specifically created as a Christian alternative for families who want an after-school option aligned with their faith.

We welcome all youth to our program. We believe that every child should come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His love. Mark 10:14 says "..... Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God." (meaning let the children come without hindrance)

The program is open to all youth ages 8-13 or in grades 3-8 regardless of skill level. Whether just getting into the game, playing at an elite level or anywhere in between, we make it fun and engaging for all.
