For the most part, the summer of 2025 will be a relatively quiet one for Lo-Ellen Park Prep basketball standout Sidney Skrobot.

For the most part.

Last month, the local commit to the Western Illinois Leathernecks (NCAA Division I - Ohio Valley Conference) was one of 24 girls from across the country selected to participate in the Cwench All-Canadian Games.

The four-day event included a training camp setting in Orangeville followed by the All-Canadian Games hosted at Humber College on Sunday afternoon.

"This is really something I have wanted to be part of all through high-school," said Skrobot, who follows in the footsteps of Michigan Wolverines rookie sensation Syla Swords as local participants in the games.

"The experience was really, really cool."

Having fallen just short of cracking the Team Ontario roster the past few years, Skrobot was thrilled to make the cut at the festivities that draws coaches and scouts from across North America.

"I would say that my versatility is key," she said. "I have played from a one to a five and I think that helps me standout. Even if you look at my stats, it's pretty even across the board."

"I rebound, I can shoot, I can defend but also be a good facilitator and get the ball to my teammates."

That said, the 6'1" prospect is set to slot in at forward / wing, looking forward to the blossoming of her game as she moves to the post-secondary ranks.

"I think there's always things that you can get better at," said Skrobot. "My basketball IQ. Some of that will come just from going to my team next year, playing more and learning from those girls."

Still, she remains pleased with just how much her game has lunged forward over the course of her time with the Knights.

"When I first came to Lo-Ellen, I was maybe an okay shooter," she said. "But I think over the four years, me and coach Jenn (Jennifer Bourget) have really worked on my mechanics - and I would say that I am now a pretty good shooter."

"It's just a matter of getting more consistent with them going in."

Having aged out of the AAU circuit and provincial team tryouts, Skrobot is lasered-focused on the off-court preparation needed to make the transition to NCAA basketball as seamless as possible.

"Getting stronger, adding muscle and speed," she stressed.

And building on the confidence that comes from participating in the All-Canadian Games - though perhaps that is obvious.
