Who Are We?

Cougar Basketball was established in May 2025 through our partnership with Cougar Volleyball Club and Catalyst Initiative (Est. 2019). Providing high level basketball training, our goal is to provide a successful and reliable basketball club that serves the communities of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

Cougar Basketball and our Board of Directors have one mission for each individual:

Learn the Game. Love the Game. Live the Game.

Learn the game:

- Learn the proper technique for every skill and develop a comprehensive basketball IQ. Under the guidance of our advanced and experienced coaches, Cougar athletes will grow in both confidence and skill through practice, repetition, and an increased understanding of the game.

Love the game:

- Increase people’s joy and passion for the game of basketball in a high-energy, positive, and encouraging environment. Our coaching style centers on enthusiasm, verbal encouragement, and failing forwards - because loving the game starts with loving how it’s taught.

Live the game:

- Apply the principles of team work, dedication, and consistency to athlete’s everyday lives. Cougar’s goal is to develop individuals who not only have a positive impact on the court, but also in our community.
