The Capital Xelles Basketball Club is one of Eastern Ontario’s best basketball clubs dedicated to developing girls between the ages of 10 to 18 to be better players and better individuals.  

Our success has proven that when you focus on the individual player’s abilities and development, the team as a whole succeeds. 

While many other clubs develop systems, our unique approach of developing the individual player has been successful on and off the court.  Not only do our girls become the best basketball players they can be, they also develop their skills of teamwork, cooperation and sportsmanship.

Our players understand that a successful team requires a great deal of time and dedication and reinforce that basketball is not something separate from their school experience - that discipline must be exemplified both on and off the court.  They must apply their dedication to school as they are "student athletes" - students first, athletes second. 

In teaching these lessons, we give our players a taste of several skills essential to a successful life after graduating high school.

Our core value of working together, supporting each other and placing the welfare of the group ahead of self-interest is one that every player adopts early on in this program.

Our coaching staff has strong technical backgrounds with years of experience as a player and/or a coach.  They not only bring a love of the game but the skills needed to develop each player on their team.  The coaches subscribe to the Long Term Athlete Development Model as developed by Basketball Canada and their experience in coaching youth has contributed to the Xelles overall success. 

Since our unique approach is to develop the individual player, girls without experience are encouraged to try out.  Although players are encouraged to participate in other interests, Xelles players must commit to attending all practices, games and tournament play. 

The Capital Xelles Basketball Club is unique to Eastern Ontario.  Our success is a result of our dedication to developing the player first.  Our teams succeed because our players do.
