Scarborough Basketball Association

Register now for our 2022 Summer Camps! Formed in 1996 as a non-profit organization, the Scarborough Basketball Association has a simple game
plan – to provide boys and girls in and around the Scarborough area with the opportunity to grow and enjoy life through the sport of basketball. For some of our youth, the SBA will be a launching pad for a successful basketball career in college or university. Some may even go on to become
professional players, based on the fundamentals that we helped them develop. However, for most, the SBA and its basketball programs are simply
a means of building character, developing friendships and having a whole lot of fun. We offer a variety of programs for kids ages 5-19 from beginners
to our Scarborough Prep programs for elite players. Registration is now open for our 2022 Summer Camps!

The foundation of our all inclusive philosophy lies in our Mandate which reads: Every child who has a wish to learn, perform, and create dance should be given the chance to do so.

Founded in 1979, and becoming a Charitable Organization in 1987, PBS is the only non-profit dance school in Toronto and has worked as a catalyst for city and community building in each of its locations including Queen Street West, Parkdale, and the Junction Triangle.

PBS teaches approximately 250 students, houses a pre-professional youth company (YMI Dancing), and manages a versatile 100-seat community theatre.

The School’s presentation of the Nutcracker is in its 36th year, making it Toronto’s longest-running production, and welcomes an audience of 2200 annually.
