  • "My son is having a very good experience with you at The Yards Intermediate Academy.

    He raves about how interactive you are with the group and he is learning by how you move with them on the court. He is super excited to continue learning with you at The Yards!”

  • "All 3 kids love the beginner Skills Academy! Coach Drew is enthusiastic & keeps the kids engaged.

    Signed my son up for The Yards basketball for Winter Skills Academy 2026 along with his two buddies. All 3 kids are officially hooked on basketball! The program is inclusive, challenging and fun. The kids are pumped for the next program.  Definitely recommend!”

  • "He said he only wants to play basketball at The Yards Academies at Ballmatics.

    I just wanted to let you know that my son absolutely loved playing basketball on the weekend. He said you were so nice and really likes your coaching style. He said you make basketball fun! He even enjoyed the drills and that is rare for him. He enjoys basketball again because of you! So thank you for getting my kid to love ball again!”

  • "This achievement speaks directly to coach Drew’s ability to develop talent, confidence & discipline.

    A few months after the Skills Camp ended, my daughter expressed how impactful that experience had been for her, both on and off the court. Because of that, I reached back out to coach Drew to explore one-on-one training. For over a year and a half, he worked closely with Anisa, consistently pushing her, guiding her, and helping her grow not only as a basketball player, but as a young person.

    Through his training and mentorship, Anisa became one of only two Grade 9 girls to make the varsity team.”

  • "Your sessions made a real impression on my son last year. I like how you found different ways to challenge everyone on the court."

ACCOUNTABILITY, COMMUNICATION & EXECUTION

Player agreements assist both player and coach in staying locked in on the mission. We sit down, we make a plan and we develop a program just for you.

You heard correct! Every journey needs a start and an end point. If you’re serious about developing as a basketball player, this is a good place to begin.

mission

To approach basketball as a lifestyle.

coach drew

A rep hockey player, his high school & Mississauga Athlete of the Year, coach Drew didn’t discover basketball until university. A good friend taught him the game, in exchange for training and running with his rep basketball team in London, Ontario.

After five years of coaching the Women’s Gold Medal squad and running as a player coach on several of his own teams, Drew became a lead coach for International Basketball & Sports Academy (Guelph, Oakville, Kitchener & Burlington). It’s here he developed his own style, focusing on preparation and recovery, learning from former professional players and coaches.
