Our basketball teams
We pride our program on investmenting into the long term success both on and off the court of each player. Often coaches and programs’ primary focus is winning games but the primary focus should be on teaching fundamentals, principles and skill while building long term success even if that means sacrificing early success and wins. The goal is to be great in high school and beyond, not to peak in elementary school because you’re coach is taking short cuts.

Philosophy and Style of Play
Finding a youth basketball program that does what’s best for your child can be difficult. Youth basketball has become extremely competitive which has caused most programs to prioritize winning right now over everything else. While winning is important, it unfortunately creates an environment where coaches use tactics to win games instead of focusing on long term growth and teaching the principles, concepts and skills players need to be successful at the high school and college level. We emphasize developing fundamentals, players understanding of the game, ensuring players are challenged at their level of competition and players are held accountable by knowledgeable coaches.
