What Does It Cost to Bring a HoopLife Clinic to Your Community?

There is no published price list for a HoopLife clinic, and that is on purpose. HoopLife quotes every community individually, because a same-day drive from Regina and a fly-in to a northern community are not the same trip, and a price built for one would be wrong for the other. What a coordinator gets instead is a written quote, itemized line by line, built around the actual visit.

If you coordinate youth activities for a band office, a school or a small-town recreation department, this is the real answer to the question you are actually asking: what moves the number, what you get for it, and how to get a quote that fits your community instead of guessing at someone else's.

What actually changes the price of a clinic

A few concrete things move the quote, and HoopLife will walk through each one with you directly rather than making you guess:

• Distance and travel. How far the coaching team has to go, and whether that means a drive or a flight, changes the trip completely.
• Overnight stays. Whether the team needs to stay over is part of the cost, and it depends on how far you are from Regina.
• Number of days. The standard is two full days, which is what most communities book. Longer visits can be built if you want one, and get priced out when you ask.
• Number of coaches. HoopLife brings a team led by a senior coach, sized to your group. A rough headcount of expected kids is enough for HoopLife to plan how many coaches to send and how many training booklets to print.

There is no hard cap on how many kids can take part. HoopLife scales the clinic to the community rather than asking the community to fit the clinic. In a lot of places that means most of the school shows up, and that is fine. Kids get grouped by age and ability on the day, so a beginner is never stuck behind a kid who has played for years, and nobody sits out.

What a community actually needs to provide

The list is short. A gym with working hoops, and one local point of contact for the two days. That is genuinely it. HoopLife brings the coaching team, the written curriculum, and printed character development and training booklets for every child who takes part. If your gym is short, your hoops do not lower, or you are working out of a community hall instead of a full gym, say so when you ask for a quote. HoopLife has run clinics in every kind of space and will build the plan around what you have, not turn you down for not having a regulation court.

What the two days are actually built from

The clinic is not two days of drills in lines. Each day mixes real skill work, shooting, ball handling, finishing, defending, with games and scrimmages kids can use what they just learned in immediately, plus fitness circuits and HoopLife's Confidence, Leadership and Basketball IQ sessions. That leadership and character work is built into the two days, not bolted on at the end.

The whole thing runs on HoopLife's own written coaching library, the same system behind everything the coaches run out of the HoopLife Centre in Regina, where hundreds of players train every week. Every drill is diagrammed, every coach works from the same playbook, and the clinic gets built from that library to match the ages and abilities actually in the gym that day.

Does a clinic like this sell out?

Yes, and it is worth being straight about that. HoopLife has reached 122 communities across 10 provinces and territories, and interest in a visit is real and it builds. If a clinic weekend is something your community wants, the honest advice is to get the conversation started now rather than later. Spots on the coaching calendar are limited and they do get booked, so reach out and get the ball rolling.

Communities that want more of the story behind why a clinic like this matters can look at what a basketball clinic actually changes in a community, which walks through the kind of shift coordinators report after a visit, confidence and connection as much as basketball skill.

How to get a real number

If you coordinate for a First Nations community, the place to start is HoopLife's First Nations basketball clinic page, built specifically around that kind of visit, fly-in included where needed. If you are a school or a small-town rec department, the town clinic page covers what a visit to a school gym or a town facility looks like. Either page has a request form. Give HoopLife a rough headcount of kids, your location, and what you have in mind for days, and you get back a written, itemized quote, not a guess.
