HIGH-QUALITY COACHING. MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES. ACCESSIBLE PROGRAMS.

Summit Basketball is a new organization founded by Andy Sanschagrin (St. Patrick's High School) and Matthew Weston (Quebec High School) to prepare for the merge of the English-speaking High Schools from Quebec City. These programs are reserved for players from the English-speaking elementary and high schools to offer access to high quality coaching, provide meaningful opportunities and create a positive environment for our community.

Our mission is to give access to high-quality coaching to all young athletes of the English-speaking community, regardless of their financial situation.

OUR VALUES

At Summit Basketball, we believe the game is about more than developing great athletes, it’s about developing great people. Every practice, camp, and competition is built around three core values that shape how we learn, compete, and support one another, helping our athletes succeed both on the court and throughout their lives. These values are the foundation of everything we do and the standard we strive to live by every day.

The elimination of bad habits and the establishment of positive habits in all aspects of life.

The development of strong character and the ability to serve as a positive influence on and off the court.

The commitment to being coachable. Always seeking feedback, listening with an open mind; and adopting a team-first mentality.

Matthew weston

founder & Coach

Matthew Weston is a basketball coach with over 10 years of experience working with athletes of all ages. A former player at Champlain St. Lawrence and York University, Matthew brings both playing experience and coaching knowledge to his approach, helping athletes develop their skills, confidence, and competitive mindset.

Matthew began coaching with the Quebec High School Blazers in 2016 and later coached at Champlain St. Lawrence from 2019 to 2022. Since the summer of 2023, he has also led his own summer basketball program, continuing to create opportunities for athletes to grow through training, competition, and team development. In the 2025-2026 season, Matthew led the the Junior Boys and the Junior Girls of QHS to the provincial championship, eventually winning the silver medal with the Junior Girls.

Coaching Philosophy

At the core of Matthew’s coaching philosophy is a lesson passed down from his father: “What you put in is what you get out.” He believes that effort, preparation, discipline, and consistency directly shape an athlete’s results both on and off the court. His goal is to push players to take ownership of their development and understand that progress is earned through commitment.

Known for his competitive nature, Matthew hopes to spark a fire in every athlete he coaches — challenging them to go beyond themselves, raise their standards, and become the best version of who they can be. His coaching is rooted in accountability, hard work, and a genuine passion for helping athletes reach their full potential.

Through camps, training sessions, and development programs, he has helped hundreds of athletes improve their skills while building confidence and character.

Coaching Philosophy

For Andy, coaching is about much more than basketball. The most important responsibility of a coach is developing leaders both on and off the court.

He believes in creating an environment built on accountability, respect, and personal growth. By setting clear expectations and holding athletes to high standards while maintaining a positive and supportive atmosphere, players learn to challenge themselves, develop intrinsic motivation, and become better teammates and individuals.

Andy believes that success comes from hard work, humility, and a genuine love for the game. Through leading by example, he strives to create a culture where athletes can compete, grow, and stay true to the values that make basketball such a powerful sport.
