West Ottawa Basketball is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with the OSA Private School (OSA), set to launch next month. This collaboration represents a major step forward in creating a fully integrated student-athlete experience, where academic excellence and high-level athletic development go hand in hand.

As part of this partnership, West Ottawa Basketball will serve as the exclusive basketball training provider for student-athletes enrolled in OSA’s new basketball program. In its pilot year, the program will be open to female student-athletes in Grades 7-10 at OSA. Consideration may be given to athletes outside these grades.

OSA Private School is a forward-thinking academic institution built around the needs of student-athletes. Founded with the vision of redefining how education and sport intersect, OSA provides a structured environment where students can pursue their athletic goals without compromising their academic growth. With a focus on flexibility, personalized learning, and whole-person development, OSA is committed to preparing students for success in sport, school, and life.

Through this partnership, student-athletes will benefit from a comprehensive program that includes:

“At OSA Private School, our mission is to create an environment where student-athletes can truly thrive,” said Lori Bouzane, Principal and Owner of OSA. “Partnering with West Ottawa Basketball allows us to deliver exceptional basketball development alongside a strong academic foundation. We’re excited about the impact this program will have on young athletes and their families.”

“This partnership is a natural fit,” said Mark Emond, Vice-President of Player Development with West Ottawa Basketball. “We share a common vision with OSA—to develop not just better athletes, but better people. This program gives student-athletes access to high-level training, structured academics, and a supportive environment that will help them reach their full potential.”
