And they didn’t just decide to pick up basketball – seven have played in university or college and four played U Sports.
According to Terbasket, their community is a basketball community, and their band focuses on movement as wellness. “We put a lot of emphasis on development for younger kids and they really enjoy seeing us play – they get so excited ’cause we coach them and culturally it means a lot to them and a lot to us,” said Terbasket.
Many players from Similkameen coach teams at the Junior All Native and there’s a sense of pride among those watching from up north and back home – some even hosting watch parties. With their playing and coaching, they’re showing youth in the community how far they can go with basketball.“The All Native provides a next step, it was either Junior All Native and then you play in college or university and then you’re done, but now we have that next step.”
