Testimonials
  • The Pro Skills basketball organization truly invested in its players, offering high-level skill development, genuine care and support, and valuable recruitment exposure—all within a tremendous, positive environment. Highly recommended for any young athlete looking to grow on and off the court. First class leadership and coaching staff that communicated clearer expectations and goals, while showing individual care towards each kid.

  • Could not have asked for a better organization for our son to play with. They taught the fundamentals and important skills but in a modern way. On paper our team shouldn’t have beat many teams, but because they had learned how to work together, how to run plays and not just run up and down the court, to play together as a team and not just “me” ball, they were so successful. And they had a great time doing it! This was one of his favorite seasons in over 9 years of travel ball. Amazing coaches and staff, supportive, great at communication, very well organized. Highly recommend.

  • Very detail oriented and systematic with the participants. My daughter enjoyed her session and learned a lot from them. Highly recommend Team PSB!

  • Great organization to help develop young basketball players. My son has enjoyed being a part of PSB!

  • PSB has been an exceptional program for my son. Finding the right AAU organization for your child can be challenging in a saturated market. We tried several different programs before finding PSB. Other programs were too focused on winning at all expenses or didn’t have a competitive enough environment to make it fun for the kids. My son is in his second year with PSB, and it’s been the perfect mix of focusing on individual skills while still working together as a team to produce impressive results. I can tell the coaches and directors love what they do, and they are excellent at it. They strive to instill confidence in all the kids, which is so important in their development. All the PSB coaches have opportunities to work with and mentor my son, and they push him to become a better player.

FAQs

Our Club Teams typically run 8–11 months depending on the city. Families can expect 2–3 practices or workouts per week and 2–3 weekends per month with games or tournaments. We believe in long-term development, not quick-hit seasons.

We support multi-sport athletes! Many of our players compete in soccer, football, baseball, and more. Just let us know your schedule, and we’ll work together to find the best fit — whether that’s a Club Team or placement in our Player Development Academy with more flexibility.

We offer flexible payment plans in every city. In some locations, limited scholarship or financial aid options may also be available. Reach out to us directly to learn more — we’re here to help.

Not every player is placed on a Club Team, but no one gets left behind. Through our Player Development Academy (PDA), athletes receive structured training, weekly practices, and internal game play — with the opportunity to be reevaluated for a Club Team during the year.

In most cities, we host open clinics, camps, or evaluation sessions prior to the start of the season. These are great opportunities to experience our coaching and culture firsthand. Reach out to your local director to see what’s available near you.
