Golden Ticket Basketball Academy
The Regina Catholic School Division (RCSD) is pleased to announce a long-term partnership with Saskatchewan-based sports company, Golden Ticket Sports. The partnership will involve the creation of the first division-wide elementary Basketball Academy, specifically focused on students in Grades 5-8.
The program will be led by Golden Ticket Sports High-Performance Coaches at 6 different host RCSD Elementary schools over the course of the school year. Starting in September 2022, and ending on June 1st, 2023. This program runs at no cost to the school division, and at a reasonable cost to families when compared with other youth athletics programs.
Students will take part in the program twice per week per grade grouping (Grade 5/6 and Grade 7/8) with 60-minute sessions being run by Golden Ticket High-Performance coaches. The program features 60 sessions over the course of the 2022-2023 school year.
Golden Ticket Sports has had success running similar programs with both Lloydminster Public and Catholic School Divisions, as well as Moose Jaw's Holy Trinity and Prairie South.
Sessions will run before school hours at the below host schools.
