College prep qualifies for adidas 3ssb circuit

Our College Prep Teams have been making a lot of noise on the Adidas Gold Circuit! In particular, our 17U team has gone 8-0 in official Adidas Gold Events and has qualified for the top Adidas Circuit the Adidas 3SSB! This is the first time that a team from the Penninsula has been a part of a club basketball sneaker circuit, so it is extremely exciting to see all the hard work pay off for our College Prep Program! Best of Luck to them as they will be competing in South Carolina!

BASKETBALL 101: INCREASE PARENT’S HOOP UNDERSTANDING

This video is of UConn's Women’s Basketball Coach Geno Auriemma and he is specifically talking about his Pyramid of Success. Regardless, any great player can come to your program and do well, however, it is the values you build upon your program that will end up being what makes the difference between continued success and short-lived success. I love this mindset, as it truly is one that we try to manifest this attitude within our academy. Overall, if we can have certain principles and expectations for players in the TrueLeague, then the standard for them will be set. Therefore, we see consistent growth with every player no matter how or big or small it might be.

We crave to learn and grow. The best way for us to grow is with your valued feedback. Please use the above link anytime to let us know how things are going (positives and negatives) for the TrueLeague. There’s an option to get in contact with an HQ member in the link as well. We look forward to hearing from you!
