  • Specifically designed and ran by Coach Wess to push equal-level players against each other in a competitive atmosphere. Learn how to play high level basketball without a coach telling you how!

    We will force popular actions/coverages most coaches run in today’s game. 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 formats while mixing in skill concepts for players to learn by playing rather than drills.

  • 1st-4th / 5th-8th / HS

    Book your spot to the open gym you’d like to attend to sharpen your skills in real live game play.

    1st-8th:

    • Refs provided

    • With 2 courts we will have the two youngest grades split up with the two oldest grades on opposite courts.

    HS:

    • Call fouls and learn to play competitive pick up. Will still be supervised by a coach keeping score.

    • Winners/Losers court format. If you want to stay on, win the game!

  • One-on-one court time focused on your biggest gaps within your game.

  • Specified sessions for players who need to develop a consistent shot while learning the angles and conditioning of basketball to be an effective shooter in big games.
