Many parents have similar questions regarding club basketball. We hope that most of your questions are answered here. If not please contact us and we’d be glad to answer any questions you may have.
Club basketball provides a competitive athletic experience where athletes who are not yet seniors have the opportunity to compete in regional and national NCAA viewing tournaments across the United States. We prepare athletes how to compete at a high level and focus on the required skills development for the level of play required by NCAA Division I programs. This opportunity allows players to showcase their talents in front of many college coaches who evaluate prospective athletes for their college programs. The club high school season begins in March after the high school season has ended. The Middle school season runs year round.
Our goal is to provide hard earned recognition and visibility for our players affording them the opportunity to earn a college scholarship. We want to prepare our athletes toward the collegiate goal by incorporating strong fundamental training along with the highest level of play. We believe that entry into the top viewing events provides a solid framework for our athletes to be seen by college coaches. Practice and individual gym time is essential to the athlete’s success therefore we are selective to which tournaments we enter versus just playing a lot of games. Many college coaches are getting a head start in the recruiting process by viewing players in the 7th and 8th grade. We believe it is important for our 8th grade to learn the process of traveling and playing in high profile tournaments, therefore they will travel with the high school teams to some of the NCAA viewing tournaments.
Practice session will focus on fundamental skill development as well as team instruction. Athletes will continually be challenged and have competitive opportunities to learn and compete at the highest level.
Our coaching staff is primarily composed of superior High School and Middle School coaches who have a proven track record along with demonstrating a positive and supportive outlook with a solid technical background
Tournament schedules are designed to support player exposure for high school and 8th grade teams. We play on the East and West coast, as well as Nike tournaments, US Junior Nationals, MAYB tournaments and other local and regional events.
Our Tournament schedules include 5 NCAA exposure events for high schools teams and 3 NCAA exposure events for the 8th grade team giving our athletes exposure to the best women’s basketball coaches in the nation. These are must attend tournaments and College coaches will be in attendance for evaluating athletes to determine a fit within their programs.
Quality instruction from coaches, higher level of competition and exposure levels is a must have for every athlete seeking the opportunity to play at the next level The positive life experience associated with regional and national tournament attendance gives athletes a broader view and depth of the type of talent they are competing against.
