Midwest Basketball Training
Focused on player development, we are proud to partner with MBT (Midwest Basketball Training). With specialized training, MBT will help our players to take their game to the next level.
A faith-based program. We use the game of basketball to teach Biblical principles.
Skill development: Our coaches spend a minimum of 60% of their practice time on skill development and fundamentals. Our coaches do not take shortcuts in the area of skill development to win games.
Best practice facilities of any club in town.
We do not hire “screamers” as coaches. Our coaches lead with positive reinforcement, blending that with accountability expectations.
We welcome multi-sport athletes, versus making things difficult for them. We think kids should play other sports, and make reasonable accommodations for spring sports schedules.
Exposure: We play in the best tournaments, and many of our alumni are playing college sports. We work very hard to help our high school players land in college programs.
