Phenoms in Schools

A free, coach-led basketball session for your students — during a regular gym period.

Phenoms Basketball's coaching staff will run a basketball session for your students at no cost to the school, teaching fundamentals, teamwork, and a love for the game during a regular gym period.

Why schools say yes

  • Completely free — no cost to the school, the gym teacher, or families. Phenoms is a not-for-profit and covers its own staff.
  • Zero prep for your teachers. Our coaches run the session; the gym teacher supervises alongside us.
  • Curriculum-friendly — sessions reinforce the Ontario Health & Physical Education fundamentals your teachers are already working on.
  • Every kid included. Sessions are built so beginners and non-athletes take part fully, not just the kids who already play.

How a session runs

  • One gym period, one class at a time.
  • Warm-up, then fundamental skill stations — dribbling, passing, shooting — finishing with an inclusive game.
  • One to two Phenoms coaches per session.
  • We bring age-appropriate basketballs and gear. You just provide the gym.

Time blocks

Pick whichever window fits your timetable, starting the week of September 15, 2026. We'll match your exact gym-class times when we confirm.

Available Blocks
Morning block8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Afternoon block1:00 PM – 3:00 PM

Safety and trust

  • All coaches have a completed Vulnerable Sector Check.
  • Coaches follow your school's own sign-in, visitor, and safe-arrival protocols.
  • Your teacher stays present and in charge of their students throughout — Phenoms leads the activity, not the supervision.
  • Phenoms carries its own liability insurance; a certificate is available on request.

Book a session

Priority goes to Whitby and Ajax public elementary schools, and we extend to Pickering and neighbouring schools as capacity allows. Takes about two minutes.

Photo permission

We'd like to take a few group photos during the session for Phenoms' social media. No child is ever identified by name. This is entirely optional — if you leave this unticked the session runs exactly the same, and we won't photograph your students.
