Basketball Clubs in Alberta
Alberta's basketball scene is anchored by Calgary and Edmonton, both of which have competitive club programs across multiple age groups. Alberta Basketball Association oversees provincial competition, and both cities have seen significant growth in participation over the past decade, driven by a strong coaching community and investment in new facilities.

Alberta has strong representation at the Canada Basketball national championships and produces a growing number of players who go on to compete at the U Sports level.
