TEAM LA-ROSE
Coach Michael along with his wife Joanna created La-Rose Wellness & Basketball to help KIDS enhance their overall wellness while learning the game of basketball. Children will have FUN working on their Basketball skills by developing their PHYSICAL LITERACY and practising the concepts they learn through games, drills and education sessions. Studies prove children who are physically literate have more confidence to move and will seek out opportunities to be physically active throughout their life.
Mission
Our Mission is to Empower Children to be More Active and ensure they have a Positive experience in Sport and Physical Activity so they will continue to be Active For Life.
Michael La-Rose
Michael was raised in Burlington, Ontario with older siblings Garfield, Charlotte, Kevin and youngest brother Roger. Throughout the 70's and 80's the La-Rose Family excelled in Halton sports and were Ontario Champions in Track and Field setting a number of Halton and Provincial records. All have been honoured by the Province and City of Burlington for their track achievements and the recognition they've brought to the city. They all attended the oldest school in Burlington, Central High School and over 30 years later still hold the majority of school track records. Sister Charlotte is inducted in the school's Sports Hall of Fame and is the most decorated athlete in the family. She was a member of the Canadian Junior National Track Team, a stand out at basketball, soccer and was named Burlington’s Female Athlete of the Year.
