PATRICK DUJMOVIC
ELEVATE BASKETBALL Hoops Night, Camp, Small Group/Private Training & Club Team Coach, Former UBCO Basketball Player (USports)
Coach Dujmovic started playing basketball at the age of 10 years old in Croatia and completely fell in love with the game. Dujmovic idolized Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant and would relentlessly practice their moves in front of his house daily. Dujmovic was a standout shooting guard in Croatia and at the age of 14 was called up to play on a 2nd division professional team in Croatia (Croatian basketball association made a rule that 2nd division teams and under had to have a U16 player playing for the men’s team). It was in these formalizing years that Dujmovic’s basketball development sky rocketed, as he was playing with very experienced men on the basketball court. When he went back to play for his own age group club, he was at another level. At the age of 15 years old, his family moved to Canada where he quickly became a standout basketball player in South Surrey. His love and passion for the game and his excellent ability to shoot the basketball, helped him obtain a scholarship to play for University of British Columbia Okanagan (Kelowna). After a successful 5 year USport playing career, Dujmovic is just as passionate to teach the game now to young aspiring players. We are thrilled to have Patrick on our ELEVATE Coaching Staff.
