Excel Basketball Academy commences its second season of a valued partnership with the Calgary Surge, a leading professional basketball team in the Canadian Elite Basketball League. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to developing competitive teams and ensuring all kids have access to the game we love.
Our clubs believe basketball is more than just a sport—it’s a pathway to confidence, an inclusive space where everyone belongs, and an opportunity to be part of something bigger than themselves. It’s also a platform for young athletes to reach heights they never thought possible.

We're proud of what this partnership offers to our athletes, families and the Calgary basketball community. Stay tuned for upcoming opportunities and events!
