My son has completed his second season with the program and has absolutely enjoyed every minute! Alec plays several organized sports throughout the year. Since joining the Balloholics program, Alec’s interest in basketball has increased and it is now one of his favorite sports to play. Here’s what he says,”I’ve had a lot of fun and my skills have improved a lot.”
Having coached various sports at the elementary school level myself, I know the challenges of putting together a successful program. There’s a lot of work, time and commitment involved. I am impressed with the level of instruction given by Coach Dave and the members of his team. The program is organized and well-run. Not only are the kids taught the technical and competitive aspects of the game, they are also learning about fair play, friendship and self-improvement. A winning-at-all-costs mentality may teach children how to compete, but it could be at the expense of other valuable skills. If you develop the proper skill base and focus on self-improvement, there's a good chance you'll be successful. This is what the Balloholics program is all about.
Thank you Dave! Renee S.
Hi Dave,
I’m sorry
to hear your season is over, but I certainly know this game. I really enjoy watching you guys play and your style of coaching. It’s an
emotional thing for me at this time of year, so much I hope to see you soon and keep coaching – I see many, many coaches – your style and how you care about these guys is what I do see, you are one of the better ones, and this game -- in my view -- is about the process, not a trophy. Boys becoming men. Cheers, Paul , North Van.
Our daughter loved the program. Not only did it teach her basketball skills but the program also taught her the importance of teamwork. We were impressed by how much the girls improved in such a short time and how they began to work as a team by the end of the program. We had found it difficult to find a program that will cater to girls in Burnaby. But we were glad that we found Balloholics. Coach Mo was a great asset to the program. She not only was able to relate to the girls but also to the parents. Keep up the good work! Blessings, Mabel (Samantha's mom)
"My son has had a great time learning basketball thru your camp.
It has made him so much more confident that he has decided to join his schools team. 3 months ago when I asked him if he wanted to join the school team he said no because he felt he wouldn't be able to help out the team. What a difference a couple of months make."
Thanks
"My son Taylor has just completed his second basketball season with Victory Sports. Not only has he learned to be a strong team player but Coach Dave has taught him to be a goal setter and that through hard work and self discipline you can become a better player. This program was truly a positive experience for my son and he enjoyed every minute!!"
"Our son Stephen, after many years of playing soccer, expressed an interest to switch to basketball. During our research of options Dave and his Steve Nash program were highly recommended by several people. Stephen participated in the Fall/Winter 2007/2008 program. Dave has many years’ experience as a basketball coach. His program focused upon all technical aspects of the game of basketball. Passing and positioning were as important as shooting. I found Dave’s approach to coaching to be one of patience and understanding. Each drill was carefully explained to the players and then they had the opportunity to practice it. Dave used a great deal of encouragement and positive reinforcement to build the love of the sport with the players. When asked, Dave took the time to spend one on one with Stephen on areas needing improvement. He offered suggestions on things Stephen could do on-non-practice days to get better. Stephen thoroughly enjoyed his time in Dave’s Steve Nash program and has signed up again for the upcoming Fall 2008 program. In addition to becoming a much better basketball player he made friends and had a lot of fun." Sincerely, Mike L.(Stephen’s father)

"My son has been involved in both Victory Sports development
programs and the Spring league. These programs have helped improve my
son's basketball skills in a fun and motivating setting. I highly
