Kids In The Game and Me

Coach Etai’s Kids In The Game Basketball Program

Hi, I’m Coach Etai, a Grade 12 student and avid basketball player from Toronto. Basketball has been a huge part of my life, shaping not only my skills on the court but also my values off it. I’ve had the privilege of playing in the North Toronto Rep Program, the Elite League, and currently with Maccabi Toronto. Each of these experiences has deepened my love for the game and inspired me to give back to the community that has supported me. I’m thrilled to have you here and excited to share my passion for basketball with our community’s young athletes

My Vision

My vision is to create a vibrant basketball community where kids can have fun while developing their skills and building friendships. I believe that through enjoyable experiences on the court, children will not only grow as athletes but also learn important life lessons that will stay with them forever.

My Mission

My mission is to empower young athletes through the joy of basketball by providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment. I aim to foster physical and mental well-being, encourage teamwork, and instill values of respect and resilience, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive both on and off the court.
