WINTER REGISTRATION NOW OPEN

Register now for Winter (Jan-Feb) season activities.

Shot Machine Training

Blue Chip Players now have access to convenient shot machine training

This machine is also used by NBA and D1 teams to help get their players’ shooting to the next level. Players can get up to 500 shots in during a 30-minute session and the system executes workouts focusing on all areas of shooting and ball handling.

At the end of a session, the player will have detailed session stats to track their progress. For longer conditioning sessions, the system can also include ball handling drills during the workout.

After school, players can ride their bikes to their Blue Chip Strength and Conditioning Program @ St Johns Strength & Performance across from Patriot Oaks and then finish the day getting their shots in.

GIRLS OPEN GYM TRAINING & EVALUATION
TONITE (WED 7-8:30pm @ Patriot Oaks Academy Gym)

We currently have had a group of about 18-20, 10-15yr old girls participating over the last 3 weeks in training and evaluation sessions and we started officially registering players into the Blue Chip Elite Girls Intense Development Player Pool Program’s team app like we have with our successful boys program.

We are able to start the program because there seems to be enough interest in our community to support a girls basketball development program and we have what appears to be long term (5+ year) commitments to support it by:

Coach Christian Laettner (click for info)
Coach Megan Harpring-Wheeler (click for info)
Coach Jesus Rodriguez (click for info)

The program will be structured the same as the boys. Even though it can include a mix of Elite and Developmental level players, it is very rigorous and is not for the meek. Players who do not respond well to disciplined instruction, stern positive and negative evaluation should look to other programs.

The general BCE player pool outline is:

A 1-2 hour weekly player pool practice available year-round. If the pool is less than 24 players they train and will get invites to play club v club games and will scrimmage interclub.

When the pool is at 24 we can start adding a 4 team division to also play in our Blue Chip Jr NBA competitive league.

As players and coaches develop we may invite our players, based on evaluation rank, to play in AAU local and travel tournaments.

To be considered for the pool:

  1. If you/your player has already registered you should receive your uniform at practice tonite.
  2. If you have attended our previous open sessions and want to be involved in the player pool email girls@bluechipelite.com with your player name.
  3. Tonite’s 7-8:30 session is still open evaluation/tryout so all interested players are still invited. Starting next week only current pool players and players who have submitted a profile and received an invite to tryout/eval can attend. 

Any players not registered who plan to attend tonite and moving forward must submit their player info form here:

Blue Chip Jr NBA Week 2 Update + Girls Basketball

ANOTHER GREAT WEEKEND OF BASKETBALL!

Lots of good competitive basketball. More lopsided games than we would like but we expect the players to continue to train on their individual skills and make every avaiable squad practice so they can close the gaps with their competition. Parents, coaches and players have been awesome and we continue to appreciate everyone maintaining a high level of sportsmanship and positivity!

GIRLS PROGRAM

This past Wednesday we held a skills practice and parent meeting for 12-15 yr old girls interested in playing Blue Chip Girls Basketball and we had a bunch of great players show up. So as we decide how to form this program we will continue to so a skills development/evaluation practice for any girls interested in playing Blue Chip, now or in the future, does not matter if you are currently playing elsewhere, for the next few Wednesdays 7-8pm at Patriot Oaks Academy. If you are not already on the list and your player is interested send an email to questions@bluechipbasketball.org to let us know you are coming to the next practice.

UNIFORM STATUS

Our uniform supplier has continued to have problems with FedEx delivering the remaining youth-size jersey boxes. They informed us Sunday that FedEx located the lost boxes and issued a new label but for some reason, tracking shows no movement. So for the Academy players, we have ordered complimentary shooting shirts for players to use if the boxes aren’t delivered today or if they have to remanufacture the replacements. Players with Jersey substitutes that do not fit need to still wear them until the remaining jerseys arrive and then they may trade them in for the proper size. Please take care of your uniform they are used for games until next Spring and then are used for gym practices for an additional year. We really appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding!!

UNIFORM STANDARDS

Reminder players who are wearing undershirts or compression shorts under their uniforms need to use black white or grey colors only!

Blue Chip Jr NBA Week 1 Update

GREAT OPENING WEEKEND!

Thanks to all the parents, coaches and players we had a great 1st weekend of basketball. We had a lot of close games and a lot of lopsided games we made some adjustments and looking at the current teams we feel the newer squads should improve significantly once they have more practice sessions. We expect to see the games get even more competitive, so we appreciate everyone maintaining a high level of sportsmanship and positivity.

UNIFORM STATUS

The uniform supplier has delivered the remaining shorts but say the jerseys with sizes youth medium and smaller may have been lost in customs or shipping and they may have to remanufacture. Hopefully they will show up before game time, but if not all players without shorts may pick them up at the gym before their game. Players with Jersey substitutes that do not fit need to still wear them until the remaining jerseys arrive and then they may trade them in for the proper size. Please take care of your uniform they are used for games until next Spring and then are used for gym practices for an additional year.

UNIFORM STANDARDS

Once everyone has been issued a uniform players will need to wear their full uniform to play and only white or black undershirts or compression shorts are allowed. Excessively dirty or stained uniforms will not be permitted.

Coach Laettner on First Coast News!

Blue Chip Black and Silver Shirts on Sale

Laettner’s Blue Chip Ballers Development Academy – Jr NBA HS Champs – GotNEXT!

We are excited to announce that Blue Chip Elite’s Director Christian Laettner will be directly overseeing our Blue Chip Ballers Development Academy

Coach Laettner has been very impressed with the great work that Coach Todd, the former BC Baller Academy director who has moved back to his hometown in Ohio, has done for the past 3 seasons implementing critical basketball fundamentals with the new and developing young players in our community.

Coach Pinkney will be taking over Coach Todd’s duties in heading up the academy moving forward, but to build on what Coach Todd has invested Coach Laettner wants to get more directly involved with this group of players so he plans to attend the 2nd half of most of the weekday practices to help ensure that we continue to instill and reinforce the fundamental skills that he has learned from his Youth, College and NBA experience.

These young, developing players, usually 10 yrs old and under will spend their time in the academy forming fundamental skills and breaking bad habits and as they develop they are evaluated and segmented by their skill and desire to play more competitively. They will play 3v3 and 4v4 games on Saturdays and may eventually be placed in open spots on competitive teams at any time.

Any questions you may have about the Development academy can be directed to us by email at info@bluechipbasketball.org

Click Here and select Blue Chip Ballers at the bottom of the page to register
GOOD LUCK COACH TODD!!!!

The uniform we will use for 2021 are approved and are starting to be manufactured now.

LATE REGISTRATION FEES will apply starting March 12th at 9PM.

It is a little early but so far it looks like we already have about 4 – 10U teams, 6 – 12U teams, 5 – 14U teams & 6 – HS Teams. Historically 70% of registration for Blue Chip has come in within the last 2 weeks and we are currently 3 weeks out so we may actually have to cutoff registration, so if you plan to bring a team or register individually do so as soon as possible.

Skill session and evaluation times will be released soon for individual registrants looking for team placement so coaches looking to draft and fill slots on their team can attend.

Currently Girls Basketball waitlist registration looks to have a potential squad in the 13-14U age group. So any girls wanting to play and any coaches please sign up asap and we will schedule an open gym night for them to play and be evaluated.

Blue Chip Winter Season Update

North Florida Basketball League and Jr NBA High School

We had a very exciting weekend of basketball! 70+ teams playing in quality gyms across North Florida. Most games were very competitive. Great job to our 4-8th grade Blue Chip Teams competing in NFBL and the Jr NBA High School Blue Chip Teams competing hard and displaying good sportsmanship.

In the NFBL 4 of our Blue Chip teams are recreational and the coaches are doing a great job working with their squads several having having little to no practice time. We are excited to see how the players develop after a few more weeks of practice and game reps.

Players on 3 of our teams have been in training in our BCE intense development program directed by Coach Christian Laettner and these squads are in testing to see if they are ready to play Spring AAU tournament season. So far they all are already having great success against some formidable squads who have been training and playing together for several seasons. So far they are 5-2, so great job players and BCE coaches!
