  • Founded in 2014 in East Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighborhood, Ivy’s Breakfast Club began as a small group of dedicated athletes—college players and high school students—brought together by their shared passion for basketball and a drive to elevate their game. The name "Breakfast Club" was inspired by the early morning skills sessions and field/hill workouts common among serious players striving to reach the next level.

    What started as a grassroots initiative has grown into a thriving basketball community, offering programs and events designed to develop players at all skill levels. Rooted in the belief that success in basketball extends beyond the court, Ivy’s Breakfast Club focuses on skill development, mental resilience, and a strong sense of community.

  • Our mission is to support athletes through mentorship, coaching, and training, fostering growth, resilience, and teamwork. We are committed to impacting the next generation, helping youth navigate the challenges of today’s world while inspiring personal growth and building strong, lasting connections.

    At Ivy’s Breakfast Club, we live the values of the game every day.
