WE DON'T PLAY...
BECAUSE WE ARE PRESSURED TO WIN
TO NOT LOSE
TO PROVE ANYTHING
WE PLAY...
TO GET BETTER
TO LEARN ABOUT OURSELVES AND EACH OTHER
BECAUSE WE LOVE THE GAME
OUR GAME PHILOSOPHY...
As a DEVELOPMENT-FIRST program, we look to improve you in EVERY WAY.
Including giving you the opportunity to be the underdog...
Huh? Why?
Well, we want to see you get the minutes on your school you always deserved, to make the team you never made, stand out against your own age group, maybe even become rise above by playing against the best of the best.
To play up allows you to develop quicker, get more exposure and build confidence.
We only look take on the BEST OF THE BEST.
This may even mean the scenario of potentially playing against teams full of international ranked prospects and/or NBA draft picks.
Rise above all, IT STARTS HERE.
