Senior School

Basketball

Basketball has a rich history at St. George's School. Offering a competitive team for each grade level, St. George's applies a longitudinal approach, developing athletes from Bantam to Varsity. Athletes can expect to train three-to-five times a week competing in the Quad-A division and travelling across BC competing in tournaments and exhibition games.

Most recently, the Varsity team toured China, visiting Fujin, Heilongjiang, and Beijing. Their season culminates in the Provincial Championships, where the best teams across BC come together annually to compete. St. George's last won the provincial title in 2009.

Bio
Guy began coaching basketball at Saints in 2001, leading a memorable Grade 8 team to the Provincial championship in Pitt Meadows. After graduating from the Faculty of Education at UBC in 2002 and spending a year subbing and coaching at various schools and programs around Vancouver, Guy joined St. George’s as a full-time teacher in 2003. Guy is a passionate coach who has enjoyed teaching the game of basketball to students of all ages, from Kindergarten to adult beginners over the past 20 years. Guy was introduced to St. George’s through Brian Lee and is thankful to have worked with such great mentors, including Mr. Lee and Mr. Cohee. He hopes to provide the same mentorship to other coaches at Saints through his role as Head of Basketball. Guy enjoys spending time with his partner, Jen, his two sons, Pius and Julius, who currently attend Saints, and their two dogs, Rollie and Bodhi. Outside of the gym, Guy’s passion lies in the kitchen where he enjoys cooking for the family and trying to master their favourite dishes.
