A Basketball Roadmap
To go far, or just for fun, We Not Me can help!
Read on for a roadmap to guide you down either path.
Competitive players need ...
-
Love of the Game
The love and passion to work at it for many years. This is intrinsic but can be fostered by adults.
-
Access to Resources
Access to gyms, teams, and great coaches.
-
Play Up
To play against better competition at times.
-
Play A Lot
To play around A LOT (free play), To execute in pressure situations (real games), and To build skills in between (clinics).
-
Many Sports
To play lots of sports and practice moving in a variety of ways.

Get Stronger
The foundation of athletic success starts with a strong and flexible body.
Intro with Kindergarten Clinics
How we get introduced to any topic can sometimes determine if we'll stick with it. We try our best to get this right because of its lasting impact!
At this age, the focus must be on fun more often than technical skills.
5 Seasons of Winter League
Play with your classmates and learn the flow of the game and how to compete. Refs and coaches help players grow for multiple years. Then test yourselves in 4th and 5th grade during the playoffs.
Year Round Clinics
I have partnered with former High School, College, and NBA coaches who have experience, character, and a desire to give back.
Travel Team for the Next Level
Are you ready to test yourself now? Our AAU program is called H-Pride. They offer 5 years (4th-8th grade) of competitive basketball played against the best players in the surrounding regions.
High School and College Games
Each year we find a local HS and College team to go watch as a community. First we went to the Palestra. This past year 300 of us took over Hawk Hill!
Play Multiple Sports
The research is very clear about the advantages of playing multiple sports in early elementary grades. Our Flag leagues and All-Sports camps can help :)
Coming soon - Strength Program!
The foundation of athletic success starts with a strong and flexible body. Our program will be for middle school students!
