The Ottawa Youth Basketball Academy’s mission is to identify and develop the top basketball players in Eastern Ontario and the Outaouais Region through superior skill development and the highest level of competitive play. Our vision is to be recognized as the premier basketball club in the region for elite player development.
To achieve this, our program is built on four guiding principles: providing an elite training environment, delivering instruction from elite-level coaches, ensuring access to the highest levels of competition, and maintaining affordability so that talented athletes from all backgrounds can participate.
Ottawa Elite creates a true high-performance atmosphere by bringing together the best coaches in the region, hosting practices at a top-level facility, and offering players access to mentorship from members of the Carleton Ravens Men’s Basketball Team. Training at Carleton University provides athletes with a unique opportunity to develop their skills in a university setting while learning directly from players and coaches who compete at the highest levels of Canadian basketball. 
Our teams participate in the Canadian Youth Basketball League (CYBL) along with other select leagues and tournaments, giving athletes consistent exposure to strong competition and the chance to test their skills against the best. At the same time, OYBA remains committed to keeping registration and team fees as low as possible, ensuring inclusivity and access for families across the region.
For the 2025–26 season, Ottawa Elite will proudly field four boys’ teams: U13 (Grade 7), U14 (Grade 8), U15 (Grade 9), and U16 (Grade 10).
