Why participate:
What Makes The Development League Different:
Summer is a great time to focus on learning. Unlike traditional leagues focused on winning at all costs, our development league prioritizes player growth with the guidance of elite coaching. Every participant gets substantial playing time to experiment, fail, learn, and improve without the pressure of constant evaluation that stifles development.
The Pickup Basketball Philosophy:
Remember the joy of pickup games? That's our model. Players communicate, compete, and collaborate naturally while building real basketball IQ. No one sits – everyone plays, everyone learns, everyone grows.
Elite Instruction, Inclusive Environment:
Your athlete will receive guidance from coaches representing two of the area's most respected programs – LuHi's nationally ranked varsity basketball team and Hoop Lab's premier basketball skills training– while playing in an environment where taking risks and trying new skills is celebrated, not criticized.
Real Game Situations, Real Growth:
Our development league is designed to help players transfer skills organically to game-like scenarios. Our format ensures every participant faces meaningful decisions with the ball in their hands, building the confidence they need to showcase their expanding abilities.
Players can register as existing teams of 3-5 that want to play together, or as free agents who will be paired with peers. Free agents may also request to be matched with friends on the same team.
