History

[edit]

The institute was founded in September 2010 by colleagues Jesse Tipping and Adam Hoffman. Tipping followed the dreams of his father, James, who wanted to create the best basketball facility in Canada.[2] Tipping would later compete with the Brampton A's, an NBL Canada team owned by his family, which had grown rich through the trucking industry.[3] The A's relocated to Orangeville and claimed the Athlete Institute as their home arena.[4]

The Athlete Institute has received praise from several players, including local high school basketball player Jalen Poyser, who said, "I thought it was like an NBA facility when I got here."[3] The Toronto Star credited the institute for attracting top talent from around the world. The newspaper also considered Tipping as one of the "five most important people in Canadian basketball."[5]

In September 2014, the institute received significant exposure when highly touted 2016 NBA draft prospect Thon Maker joined the program; he went on to become the first high schooler to be taken in the first round of an NBA draft since 2005.[6]

Orangeville Prep
