The concept of the Skills Academy is to focus on development of the fundamentals of Shooting, Passing, Ball Handling, Cutting, and Finishing. The Academy also aims to education and reinforce basketball spacing and movement patterns to assist in the development of each athlete’s Basketball IQ.
The concept is to have a training centre where basketball enthusiasts form Collingwood, Huntsville, Midland, Orillia, Barrie, Innisfil and other surrounding communities can come together once a week to reinforce the important fundamental skills to help these gals achieve their next level goals.

“Drive North has great coaches and an awesome program. Each practice we do different drills, and play mini games, and always learn something new. In the spring, they have teams that go to AAU tournaments in the U.S. and that is so much fun!” – Anonymous |
