The Crossfire Difference
- 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.
