Five levels. One pathway. See exactly what your athlete's season looks like: how often they practice, which leagues they play in, and what we develop at each stage.
There's no easy way to learn how to play a great game, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun while you do it.
PDM Basketball puts players and their experience of the game first. We hone individual skills while emphasizing the importance of working together with teammates and coaches. Every game, every practice, every day is a learning experience for everyone involved, even the pros.
If you want to make your game the best it's ever been, explore our teams below and see which level fits your athlete. We can't wait to see you on the court.
Every level has a clear next step. Click a level to jump to its details.
U15 to U19 · Boys & Girls · Where talent meets commitment.
PDM Elite is the highest level in our program, for athletes who are truly committed to chasing their basketball dreams. Every athlete here has earned their spot through hard work, resilience and a relentless drive to grow.
Our mission is to give players the opportunity to develop, compete and chase their dream of playing at the next level, without having to go the prep school route. For some athletes the right prep school is the right move, but it has to be the right opportunity, school and timing. Too often families make that move without a clear plan. PDM Elite offers that clarity, that plan, and a true pathway.
We won't sell you empty promises or guarantee a Division 1 scholarship. But we will promise you this:
Most importantly, you will be surrounded by a team that cares: coaches and mentors who live this game, who've walked the path you're on, and who will guide you with respect, dedication and a shared love for the game.
We will match your hunger. We will support your dream. We will push you when it's hard, and celebrate you when it's earned. If you show up with the right attitude and work ethic, we will do everything in our power to help you take that next step, wherever it leads.
U10 to U19 · Boys & Girls · Wins are great. Development is greater.
Gold and White teams are for athletes ready to take the next step: a level above our Gravity Hoops League and PDM Black pathway, and just below Elite. It's competitive basketball with a bigger commitment.
We want our athletes to want to win. That competitive fire matters, and we fuel it. But our focus is building basketball IQ, sharpening skills and creating habits that prepare athletes for the next level.
We teach more than plays. We teach the why behind the game: spacing, decision-making, team dynamics and court awareness. Players play through mistakes, learn in real time and find their confidence. Whether the goal is to become a future PDM Elite athlete or simply the best player they can be, this is where that foundation is built.
PDM Black and Gravity Select sit at the same stage of development with two different commitment models. Choose the one that fits your athlete and your family's schedule.
U10 to U19 · Boys & Girls · Where real basketball begins.
PDM Black is the next step up from GHL, for athletes ready to begin exploring the structure of the game. It's not about wins and losses. It's about building a strong foundation and moving forward at the right pace, with steady progress, meaningful feedback and consistent encouragement.
We're not chasing trophies, we're chasing growth. This is where curiosity turns into confidence, struggles become stepping stones, and real basketball begins.
GHL · Ontario Cup · Gravity 3x3
1 practice per week · fundamentals focused
U10 to U19 · Boys & Girls · Local competition with PDM coach-led development.
Gravity Select is for athletes who want more than a weekend game but can't take on a full rep schedule. Select athletes get an additional practice each week led by a PDM coach, then compete on weekends in the Gravity Hoops League.
It's for athletes who can't commit to rep, didn't make a rep team this season, or want a blend of steady skill work and real gameplay. Less commitment than rep. More development than rec.
Gravity Hoops League
1 extra PDM-led practice per week · weekend GHL games · no rep travel
Encouraged programs: Academy Training · Skill Labs · Shooter's Lab
All ages · Boys & Girls · Recreational league with the pro experience.
Where everyone plays. Everyone matters. Everyone has fun.
Gravity Hoops League is built for every athlete, no matter their age, experience, skill level or background. Whether you're brand new to the sport, want to try something new, or just want to have fun with friends, Gravity is for you.
We believe every athlete deserves the chance to play, grow and love the game, without the pressure or commitment of rep or elite basketball.
Athletes are placed where they'll develop best right now. Levels are a starting point, not a ceiling.
PDM Black and Gravity Select sit at the same stage. Black introduces the rep structure; Select offers coach-led training with weekend GHL play.
Players progress as their skill, commitment and readiness grow, and every level has a clear next step.
From one practice a week at the development level, up to two or three practices plus strength and conditioning at Elite.
Academy Training, Skill Labs and Shooter's Lab supplement team practice at every level of the club.
Teams run U10 through U19, with G-Elite as our girls-only elite league option.
Our coaching staff will walk you through placement, schedules and what the season looks like at each level.
