Testimonials
  • My son had a lot of fun and I saw a lot of development in his game and maturity. He has had a great experience at PSB and loves playing for his Coach.
    Paul R.
  • We had an excellent experience with PSB. My son (16) had played for another AAU program previously which gave us a good baseline. PSB far exceeded our previous experience in every way. The coaching staff is excellent and the communication was always consistent which as a parent I really appreciated. Highly recommend PSB if you're looking for a top level AAU basketball experience.
    Dave D.
  • This was my son's first year with Pro Skills Basketball AAU, and we couldn't be more impressed! The program was incredibly well-organized from start to finish. Communication was clear, consistent, and timely, which made the entire season run smoothly. The coaching staff was not only professional but also truly invested in the development of the players. The level of competition was exactly what we were looking for—challenging yet supportive. My son learned, grew, and had a great time doing it. Highly recommend PSB to any parent looking for a top-tier basketball program!
    Mike K.
  • Excellent basketball program with extremely knowledgeable coaches. Highly recommend PSB.
    Eileen M.
  • My son has been with Pro Skills Basketball Philadelphia for the past three years. PSB Philadelphia is an excellent program for amateur basketball from top to bottom. There is a lot of effort put forth by the organization from the Director to the Coaching Staff in effort to aid youth basketball throughout the year, Spring to Fall / Winter, from Pre-Season Training Sessions, Tourney month (Spring to mid-Summer), and them Post Season Training Sessions (Summer through Fall / Winter). PSB also provides the Fall 3 on 3 Tournament that extends invites to outside organizations. The competition is very competitive.

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.
