Junior Mariners can hoop it up

Vancouver Island University’s Junior Mariners training program wants to keep the region’s top young basketball players on the court over the off-season.

The program is for boys entering Grade 10-12 next fall. It will consist of at least 10 hour-and-a-half training sessions Monday and Wednesday evenings, and is intended to develop individual skills and fundamentals as well as team concepts.

The $150 program cost includes a junior Mariners reversible top.

Coaches anticipate choosing the top 12-15 players from a tryout session May 16 from 4:30-6 p.m. at the VIU gym. Players are asked to wear a reversible top to the tryout.
