Our mission is simple: to train and develop athletes while building leaders on and off the court. With our core values Life, Academics, Family, Discipline, Integrity, and Growth—guiding every decision, we are building a nationally respected player development track that transforms young people into confident, capable leaders for the future.
Our programs are open to boys and girls in grades 6–12. Players are grouped by skill level to ensure they receive the right level of challenge and support.
Enrollment begins with an online form, followed by a brief phone interview with a parent or guardian, and a free tryout. Based on the tryout, your child will be placed in one of six training levels.
Tryouts are scheduled throughout the year to accommodate new enrollments. Each tryout includes skill drills, scrimmages, and fitness testing to determine the best placement for your child.
No. We welcome all skill levels, from beginners to advanced athletes. Our placement process ensures each player trains with peers at a similar stage of development.
We provide all basketball equipment. Players should come in athletic clothing and sneakers, and bring a healthy snack, a refillable water bottle, and a positive attitude.
Practices are held in a school gym (location to be announced). Sessions take place after school on weekdays and between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
Levels 1 & 2 train for two hours per week, while Levels 3–6 train for three hours per week. Practice schedules include one weekday session and additional training on Saturdays.
During the Fall and Spring seasons, the focus is on skill development and training. In the summer months, we select certain players to participate in a few competitive tournaments
No. Parents are responsible for getting their child to and from practices, camps, and tournaments.
We understand that sometimes life gets in the way. We offer up to two makeup sessions per season (each season is 16 sessions). If your child misses more than two, we may suggest switching to a different session time—if another session for their level is available. Makeup sessions must be completed within the same season; unused makeup opportunities do not carry over to the next Fall or Spring season.
Yes. Academic tutoring is built into all seasons for enrolled players, with subject-specific support to help students stay on track in school.
Each enrolled player participates in weekly group mentorship sessions where they learn leadership skills, set goals, and build character with the guidance of positive role models.
Camp runs from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and includes 50% basketball training and 50% academic/self-improvement activities. Meals are provided through the school program, but campers should bring snacks and water.
Not yet, but we are working toward offering these options in the future to make our programs even more accessible.
