For the second year in a row, the Snowball Classic brought together young athletes, passionate coaches, and dedicated families for an unforgettable weekend of basketball. Held at the Richmond Oval on January 25th and 26th, 2025, this year’s tournament featured nine teams from eight different elementary schools across Vancouver and Richmond.

Frustration often stems from the gap between our expectations and reality. It’s wanting to sink that open three-point shot but missing it. It’s hoping to make the easy layup, but the ball doesn’t drop. It’s wanting 30 minutes of playtime but getting only five. These moments can feel disappointing, even discouraging. But in basketball—and in life—frustration is more than just a hurdle; it’s a powerful tool for growth.

Our Community Day was a day packed with excitement, learning, and the opportunity for our players and families to connect with the SSB community on a deeper level. 

Cobra U10-14 players came to the SSB Community Day on Saturday Apri 6th to celebrate the start of Spring basketball season.

On January 27th and 28th, 2024, the inaugural Snowball Classic featuring grade 6/7 teams from elementary schools in Vancouver and Richmond, culminated in a thrilling championship game. The McBride Eagles etched their name in history with a hard-fought victory, capturing the hearts of spectators in BC’s best sporting facility, the Richmond Oval.

Happy Holidays from all of us here at Split Second! We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and are looking forward to some well deserved time off these upcoming weeks! For all those sticking around Vancouver this holiday season we'd like to invite you to our Cobra Holiday Basketball Festival on Saturday December 23rd at VTT.
