HoopLife youth basketball academy expands programming to Saskatoon [Video]

Youth basketball athletes in Saskatoon now have another option to get training and instruction in.

After years of operating in Regina, HoopLife Basketball Training has begun a new chapter with their first major expansion into Saskatoon following their grand opening at Saskatchewan Polytechnic.

“We started in Regina seven and a half years ago,” said HoopLife founder and CEO Andrew Gottselig. “This has been a goal for a long time and we’re blessed to have the opportunity to be here, to have someone like Sask Polytech to partner with to use their facilities.”

A for-profit training centre, HoopLife will be operating out of Saskatchewan Polytechnic five days a week to provide basketball instruction and training for kids between the ages of four and 17 years old.

According to Gottselig, the goal will be to build their own facility in Saskatoon by 2026 similar to their current gymnasium space located in Regina.
