Additionally, the goal of OSBA is to identify, develop and support Ontario’s elite T2C student-athletes by sanctioning and supporting the OSBA by ensuring each participating high school is providing world-class education as well as technical and basketball-specific daily training environment, Integrated Support Team (IST) leadership and education to the targeted basketball coaches and student-athletes.
