The Premier Place to Play Basketball!

The Partnership:
Information for Parents

We view our parents as a vital part of the Panthers family. Success at the REP level is a team effort, often involving travel and active participation in the club’s community. Effort and Training

Improvement in basketball comes from regular practice, good habits, and a positive attitude. Children who stick with training, listen, and try their best over time usually see progress in both skills and self-confidence.

What’s Included in Your Registration:

We believe our players should look and feel like professionals. Your registration fee is an all-inclusive investment that covers:

  • Official Game Uniforms & Warm-up Jerseys

  • Custom Vaughan Panthers Team Bag

  • Entry fees for the core tournament schedule and OBA league play.

Building the Program Together:

To provide our athletes with “the extras”—such as specialized shooting shirts, travel jackets, and additional high-tier tournaments—we encourage parents to engage in our approved fundraising initiatives. This collaborative effort helps offset travel costs and ensures our players have access to a world-class experience without unnecessary financial barriers.
