Youth Basketball Reimagined

We were tired of it. The chaotic environments, the expensive fees to watch kids play a sport they love, the hour-long drives between gyms, disrespect to referees and coaches, rules not representative of how the rest of the world plays, and all of the other pitfalls that come with the standard AAU basketball tournament.

So, we set out to give teams, coaches, and players a brand new environment to compete in.

What Makes It Different:

Positive Environment

Rules and guidelines to ensure limited negative interactions between coaches, players, and referees, we're building a more respectful environment.

Improved Rules

Implementing two significant rules that that youth basketball teams miss out on far too often (see below).

Cheaper Admissions

We'll never charge more than $10/weekend for parents to see their kids play. Period.

Two Big Rule Changes:

Limited Zone Defense

Zone can only be played for a total of 25% of the game (1 quarter). This encourages developing man-to-man defensive skills, and making it more feasible to score without being forced intotough perimeter shots.

Shot Clock

Youth basketball in America is one of the only places in the world where there is no required shot clock. Implementing this helps players develop quicker decision making skills, higher IQ, and limits holding the ball inclose games.

Event Guidelines

Communication with Referees

  1. Respectful Interaction: All interactions with referees must be conducted in a conversational and question-based manner. Raising your voice or yelling at referees is strictly prohibited.
