🔥 Drive Night Takeover 🔥

Over 150+ DRIVE Hoopers from all locations pulled up to cheer on the Vancouver Bandits in front of 5,000 fans — and they didn’t disappoint. Game-winning 3. Electric crowd. Unforgettable night. 💥

Huge thanks to the @vancouverbandits for letting us storm the court after the dub and snap this epic squad photo 🙌

The energy was unreal. Memories made. Brotherhood strong.

A special chapter closes, but the story’s just getting started. 🇷🇸✈️

Relja “Baby Jokic” Sindjelic only spent 2 seasons with us—but his impact was massive. From leading Burnaby South to an undefeated season and earning Gr. 8 Provincial MVP, to dominating the AAU circuit and being the best player on the floor in major U.S. tournaments… he’s been nothing short of special.

Now, he takes the next big step: heading to Serbia to join the prestigious Mega Basket program.

What makes Jokic even more rare? His loyalty. His leadership. The way he carried himself on and off the court. He’s the kind of player every coach wants and every teammate loves.

We’re proud to have been a part of his journey. Serbia’s getting a baller—but more importantly, a great young man.

Onward and upward, Baby Jokic. Your DRIVE fam loves you. ❤️

Club basketball for all kids in BC.

It started with a vision 20+ years ago.
People told us club basketball wasn’t needed in BC.
We started DRIVE anyway. And the rest is history.

Our first Summer Classic was at UBC—we had to tape the court lines.
30 teams. Pure hustle.

This past weekend?
Almost 300 teams, nearly 100 DRIVE squads, and a packed house full of talent, competition, and community.

Today, club basketball is thriving across BC.

We’ve produced 25+ D1 players, pros, and hundreds of university athletes in Canada.

Huge shoutout to all the clubs keeping this tradition strong—and to every team that showed up for this year’s DRIVE Summer Classic.

We can’t believe how far it’s come.
Let’s never take it for granted. 🏀💯

ROKO TO SFU!

One of the greatest DRIVE players ever is headed to Canada’s only NCAA school!
Big shoutout to Roko Maric on his commitment to Simon Fraser University!

Roko is a true DRIVE lifer — he’s been with us since Grade 4 and has played more games in a Drive jersey than anyone in program history. A skilled, smart, and reliable big man who started every single game he suited up for, Roko defines what it means to be a DRIVE kid.

After redshirting at NCAA D1 South Carolina State this past year, Roko is coming in as a freshman this fall — and he’s ready to be a cornerstone of SFU’s future.

He joins recent Drive commits Sartaj Bhangu and Mikyle Malabuyoc, continuing the DRIVE pipeline to SFU. The future is bright in Burnaby!

Congrats, Roko — we’re so proud of you. Let’s get it!

QUALIFIED.
The Drive Adidas 16U squad is officially headed to the 3SSB Championships in South Carolina this July!

After stacking a 7-1 record at the Adidas Gold Circuit stops in LA, they’ve earned an at-large bid to the biggest stage in the Adidas basketball world.

This is history:
The first time a boys team from BC—made up entirely of BC players—has ever qualified for a shoe company’s top circuit.

And they join our 15U squad who did the same. Back-to-back. Same city. Same mission.

This 16U team is loaded, locked in, and ready to make noise. Coached to compete. Built to win.
We set the goal. We stayed on the grind.
Now we’re coming for it all.

#3SSB #DriveFam #AdidasGold #BCBasketballHistory #SouthCarolinaBound ...

UNDEFEATED & QUALIFIED
Our Drive Adidas 15U squad just made history — a perfect 8-0 run through the first two stops of the Adidas Gold Circuit in LA and officially QUALIFIED for the 3SSB Championships in South Carolina this July!

Only two teams from the entire Adidas Gold Circuit earned an automatic bid and we’re one of them.
That was the mission from Day 1. Now it’s real.

Major props to our hoopers who showed out every game and to our coaches who’ve been leading the charge.
This is a huge accomplishment, but we’re just getting started.

South Carolina, we’re coming.

BIG TIME MOVE. BIG TIME PLAYER.

One of the best to ever suit up for DRIVE. A BC high school legend. One of the top guards in the country.

Mikyle Malabuyoc is officially headed to Simon Fraser University — Canada’s only NCAA school.

After two elite seasons at Western, Mikyle is bringing his game to the NCAA, and he’s coming to run the show. A true point guard. A proven leader. And one of the best USPORTS players in the nation.

We have zero doubt: Mikyle is about to make serious noise and become one of the top point guards in the entire conference.

SFU just got a DAWG.
The movement on the hill is real. Stay tuned.

COMMITTED
One of the best to ever come through DRIVE.
Sartaj Bhangu is headed to Simon Fraser University — Canada’s only NCAA school.

A true standout, Sartaj started for Royal Crown this season, one of the top prep programs in the country. Recruited by multiple NCAA D1 schools, he’s chosen to stay home and help build something special on the hill with SFU’s new coaching staff.

The energy is different up there now — and it’s about to go to another level.

We’re beyond proud of you Sartaj. Your journey has just begun.

From missed AAU seasons to the pros.
Jacob Holt is the definition of perseverance.
He earned a D1 scholarship during COVID when he had no summer circuit to showcase himself.
Turned that into an all-conference college career.
Kept grinding. Kept getting better.
Now he’s signed a multi-year deal in the NBL—one of the best pro leagues in the world.

Another Drive alum going pro.
We’re proud of you, Jacob!

Toni Maric and Alex Birsan after a great night at our elite practices at The Hoop!

Toni is one of the best players to ever come through DRIVE and has become such an important part of our program — as a coach, mentor, and connector for all the talented young kids coming up.

Alex Birsan has been a star in our practices this season. He’s been with DRIVE since U10, and we always knew this day would come. One of the very best players in our program, dominating every practice and showing so much promise. His future is incredibly bright!

So much talent in the gym right now with our U16-U18 group. The energy, the competition, and the player development reminds us of the golden age of DRIVE — when all the different age groups pushed each other and helped each other grow. So many future stars in the making!

ALEX BIRSAN IS HIM.
Straight-up DOMINANT all junior year — over 30 PPG like it’s nothing.

No matter where he goes next, he’s already climbing the ranks of DRIVE legends.

Silent Killer. Big Game. Bigger Future. 🏆🔥

Drive alum Perrin Taylor just put on a legendary performance, dropping 35 points & 20 rebounds in the semis before leading Windsor to the 3A provincial title and earning MVP honors.

One of the most under-appreciated superstars in recent memory, Perrin is all about hard work, no hype—letting his game do the talking.

He’s been a huge part of Drive North Shore, had a dominant AAU season with us last summer, and is set for a big summer on the Adidas circuit. Major shoutout to @wcthoops for helping him take his game to another level these past few years.

And he might not be done yet—Perrin could be suiting up for Drive Prep this fall. 👀🔥

University coaches—this is a must-watch prospect. 🚀🏀

LEGENDARY. UNSTOPPABLE. UNREAL.

Drive alum Dorian Glogovac just made HISTORY, joining an exclusive club as 4A Provincial MVP—and he did it while leading his team to 3rd place. That’s how special he is.

His 53-POINT explosion in the semis was one of the greatest performances EVER, nearly carrying St. George’s to an upset over champion Spectrum, falling just 2 points short. Dorian averaged over 38 PPG in one of the most dominant tournament runs of all-time.

This wasn’t just great—it was all-time legendary. Congrats, Dorian! #DriveFam #MVP #Unstoppable #HoopsHistory

41 points. A historic comeback. A game for the ages.

Drive’s own Marvin Reyes just delivered one of the best performances by a Grade 10 in BC High School Championship history, leading Terry Fox to an unforgettable comeback win over Vancouver College in the B.C. Quad-A Final 8.

Down 20 in the first half, Marvin flipped the script, draining five threes in the second half and finishing with a game-high 41 points to fuel the Ravens’ 92-83 win.

Big-time players show up in big-time moments. Marvin Reyes just wrote his name in BC basketball history.
