Testimonials
  • My 9 year old started the program this summer and has improved a ton! The instruction is exactly what he needs and the coaches hold a high bar for all players to stay focused and improve their games. They also clearly care about the kids.
    Laura M.
  • We joined PSB for club basketball for the first time this past Spring and I have been so impressed with the program. My kids have participated in a number of basketball and volleyball club programs over the years and none of them have compared with PSB in terms of quality of coaching and communication from program leadership. Perhaps most importantly, the coaches maintain a level of professionalism I have not experienced elsewhere and present themselves as consistently good role models for the kids, which I really value.
    Laura T.
  • A fantastic program with top notch coaches who really care about the kids. The competition is great, the practices are challenging, and they really care about helping each kid individually. Shane, who runs the program, is fantastic and both he and the two coaches Matt and Matt are passionate about kids and basketball. I canโ€™t say enough nice things about this program.
    Cari G.
  • PSB is an organization that really cares for the kids and their personal development. Coaches are friendly, supportive and approachable as well. If you are thinking of a good program to develop your child and you donโ€™t want to spend a lot on travel this is it.
    Anthony W.
  • Absolutely loved our experience at PSB. My son played in one of the leagues and did a clinic day. Coach Kenney took so much care explaining drills and correcting my son. By the end of the league I could easily tell a difference in my boys skill level.

FAQs

Our Club Teams typically run 8โ€“11 months depending on the city. Families can expect 2โ€“3 practices or workouts per week and 2โ€“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 weโ€™ll work together to find the best fit โ€” 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 โ€” weโ€™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 โ€” 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 whatโ€™s available near you.
