Transformation
If you’re looking for a more personalized coaching experience in a 1-on-1 or small group environment, we highly recommend our Transformation program. This four-week program allows athletes to train once or twice a week depending on your schedule. We offer three different packages to best fit your athlete’s needs and you will be contacted by our staff after completing the interest form. You can learn more about the program here.
TrueLeague Level Up Sessions are back every Thursday from 4-5 PM. Come take advantage of the extra training time and get your athlete in the gym! We encourage all players to get some more training in to continue for them to grow and get an edge on players who arent training. Register below!
Our 17U College Prep Makes History!
It was a historic summer for our College Prep program as our 17U team took part in the most successful season in Peninsula history! In our first full-time season on the Adidas Gold circuit, the 17U squad was just one of three undefeated teams on the West Coast to finish an undefeated 8-0. This allowed them to qualify for the prestigious 3SSB tournament in South Carolina, making them the first-ever Peninsula based program to qualify for any of the major three shoe circuit events (Adidas, Nike, Under Armour).
Not only did the 17U team qualify for the event, they made major noise with a 4-2 showing and 5th place finish in the 24 Team Classic. This included wins over programs with NBA sponsors such as Team Derrick Rose, Team Marjon Beauchamp, and Team Sizzle (Jalen Suggs). They were able to play in front of the likes of Dan Hurley (UConn) and John Calipari (Arkansas) and countless other college coaches. They ended the season with a 24-3 overall record and we’re excited to see our Class of 2025 finish their high school careers this upcoming season! It was also a blast to see lifelong Team Esface athletes Alex Naber, Andrew McDowell, and Angelo Ghattas finish their Esface careers on the big stage. Feel free to watch the six-part documentary from the trip below!
Alumni Spotlight: Alex Naber
It was a proud moment to send off lifelong Team Esface athlete Alex Naber to the collegiate level this summer! Alex Naber started with Team Esface back in third grade while participating in our Neo Prep program and has been part of our Black Club and College Prep program ever since. This past high school season, Alex finished his senior year at Serra High School as a Second Team All-WCAL selection and led the Padres to a CCS Open Division appearance. During the summer, he concluded his Team Esface career while competing with our College Prep 17U team that reached the 3SSB stage in South Carolina. He’ll be starting his career as a redshirt freshman at Sonoma State this Fall and we’re looking forward to following the next chapter of his career!
