What is Golden Ticket Sports?
Golden Ticket Sports Inc. operates out of Regina, Saskatchewan, offering high-level basketball development camps and sessions for players of all ages, as well as coaching development materials and clinics.

The company was founded by Tanner Brightman (Regina) and Chris King (Lloydminster). Together, they have over 30 years of coaching experience at the grassroots, high school, college and national levels.

Using this experience, Tanner and Chris opened Hoop Factory in Lloydminster; an 8000 sq. foot warehouse that was completely stripped and retrofitted into a multisport facility offering 3 basketball courts and 2 volleyball courts.

Hoop Factory now serves as the premier destination for basketball and volleyball in the city, and as the home of the Golden Ticket Basketball Academy, operated in partnership with the Lloydminster Public School Division.

The Golden Ticket Sports Centre takes the same concept as Hoop Factory, and applies it on a larger scale, offering more courts, educational space, improved spectator viewing, and more opportunity for you to improve your game.
