Every stage earns the next one.

Stage 01 · Grades 3–6

Learn to move before you learn to score.

Enrolling soon

• Movement literacy: run, stop, land, change direction, get back up
• Both hands. Every drill. No exceptions
• No position labels — we do not decide who a fourth grader is
• Real fundamentals over drill-team choreography
• Multi-sport participation encouraged, not tolerated
• At least one full day off from organized basketball every week

Grounded in USA Basketball's long-term athlete development approach, which organizes by mastery of movement rather than by age and discourages single-sport specialization before 14.

Stage 02 · Grades 7–8

This is where the gap opens.

• Footwork under fatigue — clean feet in minute forty, not minute four
• A handle that holds up against pressure, not against air
• Repeatable shot mechanics you can rebuild yourself
• First exposure to film: watch yourself, honestly
• Bodyweight strength and technique before load

Stage 03 · Grades 9–10

Skills become a role.

• Role clarity — what you do that a coach can count on
• Position-specific counters against real defenders
• Live reps every single session
• Film habits you run without being told
• The weight room, on a program
• GPA on watch. First highlight reel built

Division I men's coaches can begin contacting a recruit on June 15 after sophomore year. The work has to already be done by then. This stage is the deadline, not the warm-up.

Stage 04 · Grades 11–12

Efficiency, role, and a real list.

• Efficiency over volume — do your job at a high rate
• A specialized, clearly-defined role you can describe in one sentence
• Film packages built for coaches, not for social media
• A realistic target list across D1, D2, D3, NAIA and JUCO
• A camp and showcase calendar with a purpose behind each stop
