Youth Elite Program
Purpose-built training for grades 4-5 — capped at 9 players per group.
Overview
About the program
A structured small-group program for athletes in grades 4-5. Sessions blend ball handling, shooting, footwork, and competitive play — all coach-led and capped at 9 players so every athlete gets the reps and attention they need to level up.
The Youth Elite Program is the bridge between our Rising Stars foundation classes and our senior programs — built for athletes in grades 4-5 who are ready to train with more structure and purpose. Every session is coach-led and capped at 9 players, so each athlete gets real coaching attention, real reps, and a clear path forward. Choose 1, 2, or 3 days per week and scale up as your athlete grows.

FAQ
About Youth Elite Program
Athletes in grades 4-5. It's the natural next step after Rising Stars — more structure, smaller groups, and a faster pace. Athletes in grades 6-7 should look at our Elementary Program.
Three plans: 1 day/week ($79/month), 2 days/week ($119/month), or 3 days/week ($149/month). Weekday session times are shared when you register so you can pick slots that fit your schedule.
Every Youth Elite group is capped at 9 players. That cap is the heart of the program — more touches per session, more individual feedback, faster development.
Some basketball background helps, but it's not required. Coaches meet each athlete where they are and progress them from there. If you're not sure it's the right fit, reach out and we'll point you to the best program.
