Red Jacket U17 Premier Boys Compete In Exhibition Action

The U17 Red Jackets Boys were successful in their exhibition game versus the Selects on Sunday afternoon.  Once the first quarter, new season jitters dissipated, the team settled down and began to pull away from the quick Selects team.  At half time Coach Randy reminded the players that defence would be their key to a win.  With discipline, the Red Jackets executed a defence that proved to be a challenge for the opposing team in the fourth quarter.  The scoreboard reflected a final score of 83 - 59 in favour of the Red Jackets.  There were 3's scored, great drives to the net, solid rebounding and assertive defence.  The team will need some work on their foul shots but it was a great team effort by all.  Overall, Coach Randy and Coach Barb are extremely pleased with the team's performance in their first match. Congratulations to Player of the Game Kyle for implementing what was asked of him by the coaches.

Congratulations Team!

Red Jacket Club Basketball Enters 4th Season

President and Head Basketball Coach Randy Peron is very excited to see his club organization enter it's 4th year of operation. " It has alwas been a goal of mine to create a club system in Calgary and surrounding areas to help develop young student athletes basketball skills so that each and everyone of them can be better prepared to contribute for their upcoming high school season or college. Teaching players European fundamental skills so they are more adapt to the FIBA Game has been a success in everyway. I have had numerous high school players continue to play the game in either University or College. From a variety of tournaments in the city, out of province and into the states many players have enjoyed the experience of playing for Red Jacket Basketball. Starting with 1 U17 Boys Team, Red Jacket Basketball now has over 50 players who play in U15 Boys-U17 Girl's-U17 Boy's and Open Division Men's Team's. I will continue to hire top level college players to coach the variety of team's in the future along with other seasoned personal. Our goal is not to favor a few with playing minutes but to allow all players from all team's to be able to contribute to this Team Sport."
