The Ottawa Youth Basketball Academy's mission is to identify and develop the best basketball players in Eastern Ontario and the Outaouais Region through superior elite skill development and the highest available competitive playing environment. Our vision is to be regarded as the foremost basketball club in the region for elite development. Our program's philosophy for achieving our mission and vision is through providing four major factors that are key to elite development: an elite training environment, elite-level coaches, competition and an affordable program for all to participate.
Ottawa Elite provides an elite training and development environment by selecting the best coaches in the region to provide superior skill development and conducting training sessions at top-notch facilities.  Our teams train and practice at Carleton University and Coaches are assisted by Carleton Ravens Men's Basktball Team players. Our teams and Coaches have access to university-level training and mentorship throughout the season. Ottawa Elite teams participate in various leagues and tournaments to provide athletes with the best possible schedule for skill development and competition. The OYBA strives to keep registration and team fees as low as possible to ensure inclusivity for all financial situations. 
For the 2024-2025 season, Ottawa Elite will have elite boys teams from U12/Grade 6 to U17/Grade 11 participating in various leagues and tournaments. Ottawa Elite is proud to have its elite players participate in the Canadian Youth Basketball League and various other leagues and tournaments as determined by the Coaches each season.
