Elevating Youth Through Sport and Opportunity
Mission
At NBHD, our mission is to provide youth with the opportunity to train and compete at a high level in an inclusive and affordable environment. Through dedicated coaching, strong mentorship, and a passion for the game, we foster lifelong friendships, meaningful experiences, and a supportive community. Beyond the court, we empower young athletes by helping them achieve post-secondary opportunities, gain valuable work experience, and reach their full potential in all aspects of life.
Vision
We envision a future where every young athlete, regardless of background, has access to quality training, competitive play, and a strong support system. NBHD strives to be more than just a basketball club—we aim to be a launchpad for personal growth, leadership, and success, both on and off the court. By building a culture of excellence, teamwork, and opportunity, we hope to inspire the next generation to achieve greatness in sports and beyond.
Meet Our Coaches
Christian Lonzaga
Coach Chris, a Sir Winston Churchill Secondary alumni, has been a dedicated youth basketball coach since his early high school days. A highly accomplished player himself, he was a three-time VSSAA City Finalist, a two-time VSSAA Junior Boys City Champion—first as a player in 2019 and later as a coach in 2025—and a three-time Provincials participant. His talent also earned him a spot on a Basketball BC team, where he competed at a high level and gained valuable experience. Motivated by his love for the game and a desire to give back, he founded Neighbourhood Sports Club to provide young athletes with the opportunity to compete at a high level under the guidance of devoted coaches—all while keeping the program accessible with reasonable pricing. His program emphasizes skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship, ensuring that every player, regardless of background, has the chance to grow both on and off the court. Through his leadership, the club has flourished into a supportive community where young athletes develop positive lifelong habits, build lasting memories, and form meaningful connections. His efforts have impacted countless players, giving them not only a place to improve their game but also a foundation of values that extend far beyond the court. Coach Chris wants to inspire the next generation of individuals to make a positive impact on their community, continuing the cycle of leadership, growth, and excellence.
