Welcome to the Ace Hoops U13 Boys Club Team! We are a Vernon-based competitive traveling basketball team aimed at developing Okanagan youth boys basketball through teamwork, skills training, and competition.
Ace Hoops U13 Boys Club Team
Coach Martin is focused on cultivating the talent of our U13 athletes in the Okanagan. His mission is to promote teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship while helping young players grow both on and off the court. Our U13 Boys Club Team is the ONLY dedicated U13 boys basketball team in the Vernon and surrounding areas.
Our dedicated and passionate U13 boys basketball coach, Martin Vu, emphasizes skill development, training consistency, and team camaraderie, ensuring that every player has an enjoyable and meaningful experience on the team. Coach Martin is an avid basketball fan and player who believes in building a strong foundation in our youth for future success, both in basketball and everyday life.
Coach Martin combines a deep understanding of high-level basketball with a unique talent for connecting with kids. By prioritizing clear, effective communication, he creates a competitive yet enjoyable team environment where young athletes build skills and lasting friendships. The key to great coaching is knowing how to effectively communicate.
Sponsorship Opportunity
Are you a business or individual who loves our youth and wants to support youth athletics in our community?
Are you passionate about sports?
Do you want to give kids more opportunity to develop their skills?
If so, here's an amazing opportunity for you!
We are seeking sponsors for our upcoming 2026 spring & summer club basketball season. Help support your local Vernon kids and athletes!
Your sponsorship will go a long way to provide our kids with the opportunity to develop their basketball skills through greater access to competitive tournaments in our province. Unfortunately, tournaments aren't cheap and many are outside the Okanagan which only add to the cost. Your funds will help our kids and parents attend these tournaments which will push our athletes to grow their skills. Greater competition = greater results and skills development.
Additionally, your funds will help offset gym rental costs, travel expenses, and basketball equipment for our young athletes. Schools have to be rented and that comes with a cost, especially on weekends.
As part of our program, we also prioritize team-building opportunities throughout the season to support teamwork, communication, and positive relationships among our athletes and with the community. If you would like to support our team through a sponsorship, gift card donation, or in-kind contribution that we could utilize for team incentives or upcoming fundraising initiatives that would be truly appreciated.
Or, if you are a business in which we could partner to host team-building events or fundraisers, we'd love to hear from you!
The ultimate reason why you'd sponsor? To help our kids stay active, keep them out of trouble, and help them learn about teamwork, consistency, and commitment. Our youth are our future and through basketball and your contribution these kids should be given as much opportunity as possible.
