The HoopLife Basketball Facility
Saskatchewan's first full-size regulation basketball court. Six adjustable hoops, a scoreboard and shot clocks, a turf training room, and a lounge parents actually want to wait in. Thousands of kids come through these doors every week.
What is under this roof
We built the Centre so a kid in Regina never has to train in a borrowed gym with the hoops at the wrong height and nowhere for their family to sit.
The court
A full-size regulation hardwood floor, the first of its kind in Saskatchewan. Six adjustable hoops, so a seven-year-old learns real shooting form on a rim they can actually reach and a high-school player trains at full height on the same floor.
Scoreboard and shot clocks
Premium scoreboard and shot clocks on both ends, which is why league nights here feel like a real game night instead of a rec booking.
The training room
A turf room off the court for footwork, agility, warm-ups and movement work, and the space teams use before they play.
The lounge
Leather couches, two big screens usually showing NBA or NCAA basketball, vending machines and a concession. Parents wait here instead of standing at the edge of the floor.
Check-in and the viewing window
One entrance, one check-in, and a window onto the court, so you can see your kid from the lobby the whole time.
One address, everything
Sessions, leagues, camps, Young Stars and open gym all run in this building at 661 Solomon Cres. No hunting for a school gym that changes every week.
Built for basketball, and for the people watching it
A floor that plays like a game floor
Hardwood, regulation size, proper markings, six hoops that come down for the little ones and go back up for the high-school players. The same surface for a Tuesday session and a league final.
A room for the work around the game
The turf training room handles warm-ups, footwork and agility, so the court stays free for basketball.
Somewhere to actually wait
Couches, two screens, vending machines and a view of the court. Bring the younger sibling and the hour goes fine.
The building, and the building in use
A court is just a court until it is full. This is what a normal week looks like at 661 Solomon Cres.
