About Us

Canadian girls’ prep and high school basketball is full of players talented enough to play at the next level — but talent alone doesn’t open doors. For over 15 years, CROWN Scout Girls has been the bridge between standout Canadian players and the universities and colleges that need to find them. As Canada’s longest-running, most connected girls basketball scouting platform, we make sure the game you’ve worked so hard to play opens every door it possibly can — academically, athletically, and beyond.

When CROWN Scout Girls launched, the landscape for Canadian girls’ basketball coverage was nearly nonexistent. The boys’ game was getting the attention, the write-ups, the exposure — while the girls’ game, and the players pouring everything into it, were largely invisible.

So we started writing. About the players. About the performances. About the talent that was there all along, waiting to be seen.

The response said everything. There was a genuine appreciation from players and families that someone had recognized what they were doing — that it mattered. Not as a footnote to the boys’ game. On its own terms. For its own players.

That reaction became the foundation of everything CROWN Scout Girls has built over the past 15+ years. Because once you understand what it means to a young athlete to finally feel seen, you don’t stop showing up for her.

Our mission evolved from a physical magazine when we first launched to focusing solely on online content. And now we aim to cast as wide of a net as possible by watching players across all levels of the Canadian game, in every region, and at every stage of their development.
Why? It is because the next great discovery could come from anywhere.

CROWN Scout Girls exists to find every elite Canadian player and give them the exposure she has earned. We exist to connect those players of the game they excel at, to the coaches, programs, and opportunities that will shape the rest of their lives.

Our impact can be felt in the following ways:

For players:
You’ve put in the work. Our job is to make sure the right people see it.

For parents:
Navigating the post-secondary recruiting process is complex and often overwhelming. CROWN Scout Girls has spent 15+ years learning it so you don’t have to start from scratch.

For coaches:
Canada produces elite women’s basketball talent every single year. CROWN Scout Girls is your most reliable, consistent window into that talent — built and maintained by someone who has been watching it longer than anyone else.

Numbers tell part of the story. Outcomes tell the rest.

Since 2011, CROWN Scout Girls has:

Profiled and written about 500+ players from across Canada
Built a network reaching players from 7 to 9 Canadian provinces
Become a trusted recruiting resource for 100+ NCAA and U SPORTS programs across North America
Operated as Canada’s longest-running girls basketball scouting platform — continuously, without interruption, for over 15 years
But the numbers we’re most proud of aren’t on a spreadsheet.

For the players:
We’ve watched young women walk across a graduation stage with a degree in their field — a future built on an opportunity that basketball helped open. We’ve had players thank us not for the praise, but for the honest feedback that made them better. And we’ve been there, in the background, when a player finally got to commit to her dream school.

For the parents:
We’ve helped families exhale. The post-secondary recruiting process is one of the most complex and emotionally loaded experiences a basketball family can go through. More than once, a parent has told us that having CROWN Scout Girls in their corner made that process feel navigable for the first time.

For the coaches:
We’ve connected programs with players who went on to win games, earn conference Player of the Week honours, claim All-Conference selections, and make their mark at the next level. When a coach finds a player through CROWN Scout Girls, they’re not just filling a roster spot — they’re adding someone who was ready.

CROWN Scout Girls is built with the passion of that love the game and a heart to see others excel in roles they were designed to do. As full-fledged basketball fans, with a background in media and have spent over 15 years doing something the Canadian girls’ game had never had before, have been fully dedicated to covering it with the integrity it deserves.

The motivation has never been complicated. It’s the players — watching a young woman grow from a prospect into a scholarship athlete, and knowing that somewhere along the way, this platform played a small role in making that connection. It’s the parents who finally feel like they understand a process, and are more confident their child is set up to succeed, that once felt overwhelmed in a complex world. It’s the coaches who keep coming back because they know that what’s published here is honest, consistent, and reliable. And it’s the game itself — Canadian girls’ basketball has grown tremendously over more than a decade, and documenting that growth, year after year, never gets old.

Running this for us, means every scouting report, every game tape, every commitment announcement, and every player profile carries the same standard — our commitment to integrity for the ideal connection for all involved in the process.

Whether you’re a player, a parent, or a coach — there’s a place for you here.
