Answer a few quick questions and we'll match your player to the right PDM program.

The PDM Way

It's Not Just About Winning. It's About Growing.

Purpose

More than the gameOur player development goes further than coaching basketball. We teach values that translate on and off the court through an intentional, dedicated approach.

Driven

Embrace the challengeWe push every player to step outside their comfort zone and embrace failure. Without failure we can't learn, so we stay driven through obstacles and adversity.

Mentality

Lead by exampleOur coaches represent themselves the right way on and off the court, staying positive and focused on improvement to show what mental strength looks like.

What Coaches Say About PDM Basketball

“

Aaron is the perfect person to teach kids the understanding and execution of the game on top of the fundamentals. PDM Basketball will take you to the next level.

Bernardo FitzGonzalez

FIBA Head Coach
“

Aaron Redpath has a great understanding of the game from a player's perspective as well as a coach's perspective. Not all high level players possess this attribute, which makes Aaron an extremely valuable resource to teach young players the game.

Saulo Hernández

FIBA Head Coach
“

Aaron was a great player for us at Saint John. He was a poised playmaker, a capable scorer, a knockdown shooter, and a fierce competitor.
