From Player
to Coach

After an extensive and accolade filled basketball career, Coach Elliot Mason founded the Legacy Basketball Club in 2018. Since its inception, the mission of Legacy Basketball Club has been to empower all players with a holistic understanding of how to take their game as far as their work is willing to take them.

Coach Elliot's basketball journey culminated in a National Championship with Langara College (CCAA 2014), and his decade-plus of coaching experience has helped countless young athletes develop not just their skills, but their confidence and love for the game.

What started as one-on-one training sessions has grown into Surrey and Langley's premier youth basketball development program — built on real results, real relationships, and a relentless commitment to each player's growth.

Development you can see. Progress you can measure.

Our Philosophy

At Legacy Basketball, development starts with the details. Before flashy moves, before game reps — we build the foundation. Once it's solid, we pressure-test it until it holds up when it matters most.
01

Individual Skill Development

"Build the foundation. Then pressure-test it."

Footwork, ball handling, finishing, shooting mechanics, balance, and coordination — developed with precision and structure. Players learn proper timing, spacing, and movement patterns so their fundamentals are efficient and repeatable. Once the foundation is set, we progressively increase the demands with reaction and decision-making layered in. The goal isn't just technical improvement — it's reliable execution when it matters.

02

Team Performance & Decision-Making

"Five players, one purpose."

Basketball success depends on more than individual ability. We use small-sided games and guided constraints to create environments where players must think, communicate, and make decisions in real time. Our focus is teaching players how to use their teammates to create and maintain advantages — reading rotations, recognizing mismatches, and connecting individual actions to collective success.

The Legacy Advantage

Most programs give you reps. We give you a complete player development system backed by data, technology, and a level of detail no other program in the Lower Mainland can match.

📊

Free Skills Evaluation

Every player starts with a professional 6-category skills assessment. You receive a detailed report with a radar chart breakdown of strengths, weaknesses, and specific areas for development.

🎮

Player Scouting Profiles

Each player gets a detailed scouting profile with 40+ sub-skill ratings across ball handling, shooting, finishing, footwork, defense, and athleticism — tracked and updated session to session.

📈

Progress Tracking

No guessing if your child is improving. Our system tracks development over time with real data — so you can see exactly where they started, how far they've come, and what's next.

🎬

Video Drill Library

Access our library of 60+ professional drill videos through the My Legacy portal. Every drill your player works on in training has a video reference they can practice at home.

📋

Personalized Lesson Plans

Every session is built around your player's specific needs. Coach Elliot designs individualized lesson plans based on evaluation data, session notes, and ongoing progress — not a one-size-fits-all program.

🏀

My Legacy Portal

Your player gets their own account in our custom-built training portal — with access to their drill programs, evaluation reports, skill ratings, and everything they need to develop between sessions.

What Sets Us Apart

🎯

Individualized Approach

Every player gets personalized coaching. No cookie-cutter drills — we tailor each session around your strengths, weaknesses, and goals.

🧠

Game IQ Development

Skills without basketball intelligence are incomplete. We teach players how to read the game, make decisions under pressure, and think two steps ahead.

💪

Confidence Building

Beyond skills and stats, we develop players who believe in themselves. The confidence built on our court carries into school, life, and everything they do.
