Blue Chip Jr NBA Summer Season Wrap Up!

10 Weeks ago we were unsure if we were going to be able to get a full season of basketball in for our players. But thanks to our amazing players, coaches, parents, staff and fans we made it! Along with the normal challenges that running a youth sports organization presents…. In 9 weeks during this delayed season full of unprecedented new challenges we

  • Had 34 awesome teams
  • Approximately 615 practices dealing with terrible summer weather
  • 162 games with many exciting endings
  • 9,256 COVID tool checkins
  • Thanks to our diligent face cover wearing spectators and staff we had no reported COVID-19 infections traced back to any of our events.
  • An awesome playoff weekend with little conflict, besides intense competition.
  • Incredible All-Star event with our top 30% players playing their hearts out.

Thanks again to everyone involved and we hope you continue to join us in making the basketball experience for our community’s youth athletes so good that they choose the game of basketball as their #1 sport!

BLUE CHIP ALL-STAR GAME

Coach Laettner enjoyed watching and evaluating the top 30% performing players for Summer season. We had visits from school coaches scouting players and watching game tape. Great job to the players for giving us more exciting games for us to watch!

Blue Chip Elite Player Pool Tryout Invites!

Coach Laettner and staff are almost finished with season evaluations and will be sending tryout invites to our players who are basketball focused and want to improve their game, play in more competitive teams, divisions and represent Blue Chip at North Florida AAU tournaments and potentially play on our flagship teams. Only select players will receive an invite so keep an eye out for an email late Monday evening for a Thursday tryout. Check your spam and if your player doesn’t receive an invite tell them to work harder next season and stand out from the crowd with their sills and fundamental skills and teamwork. For players who think they should have been invited or already have tournament experience fill out a tryout form here and we may queue you up for our next open tryout.

For those who may not be familiar with Coach Laettner and the tremendous opportunity our player has by having him as part of our community for at least the next 5 years: (he wouldn’t like us to brag on him but he’s)

  • Widely regarded as having one of, if not, the most successful NCAA Division 1 careers ever, playing at Duke, appearing in 4 Final Fours and winning back to back National Championships
  • Inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame with the Olympic Gold Medal winning Dream Team
  • Played against Michael Jordan in the “Greatest Game Nobody Ever Saw”
  • Played 180+ games with Jordan as his teammate and played with and against many NBA legends over a 13 year career.
  • NBA All-Star
  • Was the original StretchBig
  • Coach K, one of the most well renown and highest paid coaches in the history of basketball has said Christian Laettner was the smartest player he has ever coached
  • Was a product of basketball development camps and training.

    Considering Coach Laettner’s many years of executing core basketball fundamentals, teaching and coaching the things he learned from Coach K and the NBA teams and legends he has played with and against… There really is no one better in the country, much less North Florida, to lead our coaches and develop the players on how to play the game physically and mentally.

    We are very fortunate to have such an incredible basketball resource living right here in our community who has really taken to the mission we established with the Blue Chip Basketball Association less than a year ago.
