On Saturday, March 16th, Basketball World Toronto and Foot Locker House of Hoops joined with Nike to present the Gamechangers Skills Academy at Ryerson University's Mattamy Athletic Centre. The event was a stunning success, as young athletes from the Harbourfront Community Centre, as well as young athletes from all around the city of Toronto dropped in to hone their games through fundamental skill development. Basketball World Toronto organized a set of all-around fundamental skill training sessions, with expert coaches: These coaches along with the many BWT helpers helped guide the over 50 young athletes to a better understanding of the game of basketball.
