SC Academy Hosts 2nd Annual Free Basketball Clinic
Summer 2026
SC Academy was proud to host its 2nd Annual Free Basketball Clinic for student-athletes in Grades 8–10, continuing our commitment to providing meaningful opportunities for young athletes to learn, grow, and develop their game.
This year’s clinic was an incredible success, bringing together dedicated players from across the community for a day of skill development, competition, and mentorship. Athletes worked on basketball fundamentals, challenged themselves alongside their peers, and gained valuable knowledge from experienced coaches in a positive and supportive environment.
We were especially excited to partner with Xeist, whose generous support provided a complimentary T-shirt for every athlete who participated. Their contribution helped make the experience even more memorable, and we’re grateful for their commitment to investing in the next generation of athletes.
Beyond basketball, the clinic emphasized the values that define SC Academy—hard work, discipline, coachability, teamwork, and continuous improvement. Our goal is that every participant left with greater confidence, new skills, and the motivation to continue growing both on and off the court.

Player Highlight: Sami Uraz
From SC Academy to Queen’s University
SC Academy is proud to celebrate the continued success of Sami Uraz, a 6’5″ guard whose basketball journey reflects the dedication, growth, and perseverance that define our program.
Sami began his development with SC Academy, where he quickly established himself as one of the premier players in his age group. As a junior athlete, he consistently dominated the competition with his size, versatility, and high basketball IQ. His commitment to improving every day allowed him to elevate his game year after year, becoming a leader both on and off the court.
Following his time with SC Academy, Sami continued his basketball career at Crestwood Preparatory College in Ontario, where he spent two successful seasons competing against some of the country’s top prep talent. During his time at Crestwood, he continued to refine his skill set, mature as a player, and prepare himself for the next level.
Those efforts have paid off.
On April 14, 2026, Sami officially committed to the Queen’s University Gaels Men’s Basketball program, marking a significant milestone in his basketball journey and the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
Sami’s commitment is a testament to the work he has invested over the years and serves as an inspiration to the next generation of SC Academy athletes striving to reach their own goals.
Congratulations, Sami! The entire SC Academy family is proud of your accomplishments and looks forward to following your continued success at Queen’s University.
