Our Ballers Regular Season Program
(Typically Spring, Fall & Winter)
Has been introducing new and developing players to the game of basketball since 2020 and has been at full capacity (20 players per session) the 10 seasons it has been in existence.
A Ballers season is usually a 7-8 week commitment for a cost of $245 that breaks down to a monthly cost of $123/mo for a 1-hour training during a weekday evening and a 1-hour game activity on Saturday mornings, usually with a real certified referee for the 5v5 players that are close to graduating from the program into full competitive play. This is a uniformed activity so players will purchase a uniform that is used for a 1 year cycle from Spring to Spring.
Our Ballers Extension Program
(Fills gaps between seasons)
Is a non-uniformed training activity designed for players who don’t want to wait till the next season to start training or for players exiting a season, but still hungry to train and learn and often hoping to transition to the Blue Chip Intense Development Program
The Ballers extension program availability is based on between-season demand and capacity. Our sessions are typically designed for no more than 20 players for a middle school gym size and the cost is based on the block of time in between games. Currently, the 4-week/monthly cost breakdown is $95 for a weekly 1-hour session in the gym. This is not just a fun and educational training with highly credentialed staff, but the program also actively works for players who are also looking to follow a player path to get preferred placement in upcoming ballers seasons and for our hard-working standout players a much quicker entry into BC IDP if that is a path they choose.

Ages 11 & Under

This is a popular fundamental development program for young & developing players that has been in place for several years. It is designed to expose new players to the game of basketball and provide a development path to prepare players for 5v5 competitive team play.
- New players are evaluated at the first group training session and then moved into a specific academy session based on their skill and experience demonstrated in the Ballers Academy.
- Then the evaluation will be continuous for all players during and through subsequent seasons so players will move up or down to training sessions or competitive teams based on what is best for their developmental progress.
These academy sessions are one night a week in the
