ABOUT THE COBRA TEAMS
The Cobra Program is Vancouver’s premier basketball training. We provide top level coaches to mentor players, teach them the little details of the game, and give them the training they need to be THEIR very best. We play games and tournaments to push ourselves against quality competition. We weave lessons of character development into everything we do.
The Elementary Cobra Fall/Winter program is designed for players in grades 4-7, it will run from mid September through to the end of March, with down-time (Open Gym only) during the school Winter and Spring breaks.
The Elementary Cobra Spring program runs from April through the end of June.
HOW DO YOU BECOME A COBRA BEFORE TRYOUTS START IN HIGH SCHOOL?
- For players in Grades 4-7 (U10/11/12/13), we do not run tryouts. Instead we identify players in our Split Second Programs and Leagues who meet our selection criteria as follows:
- willing to work hard, listen and focus every practice
- ready to learn in-depth team concepts and advanced defensive/offensive schemes
- coachability, character, motivation
- willing to work hard to improve their skills on their own and in our Cobra Open Gyms
- skilled enough to play at a competitive level on a Cobra team
- dedicated enough to prioritize Cobra training
If your child meets these criteria and you would like him/her to be considered, email Kevin@splitsecondbasketball.com

BCCBA
The Fall BCCBA League, is a new initiative from the top basketball clubs in the Lower Mainland that will allow for multiple games against great competition locally! Together with five other top-flight clubs (Athelite, BC Bounce, Vancity, FYBA and 3D) we will be coming together for tournament level play without the long drive or hotel stay of an away tournament. Stay tuned for more info.
