Preparing Arizona youth basketball players for serious club competition
Our Arizona Club Prep Basketball League is an accelerated basketball program that bridges the gap between rec basketball and club basketball. Imagine an upgrade in coaching, competition and experience without the cub price tag!
With AZ Club Prep, the entire experience will be upgraded. Upgrades include better uniforms, longer games, accelerated rules and better game officiating.
With AZ Club Prep Basketball, you'll register as a team and bring your own coach. You'll play against other accelerated teams for better competition.
The most important aspect of our program is that it won't break the bank. Club sports can be thousands of dollars per season. AZ Club Prep is just a fraction of that.
Our focus right now is on players aged 10-15. We will add older divisions in the near future.
Your team will have at least 7 games per season. It depends on how many teams register.
Games are played in the east valley and are generally centralized in the Gilbert area. However, facilities are not always available and we will adjust to whatever facilities are available.
Although we prefer that you register as a team, you can register individually. If you register individually, you will either get drafted onto a team or you will be placed on a newly-created team with a paid coach.
As with any club program, teams obtain their own practice locations. There are numerous schools and parks that are willing to rent gyms and fields. There are also hundreds of open fields and parks that outdoor teams can practice at for free.
Fundraising is optional for teams to pay for their practice facilities. If your team is purchasing gear (practice shirts, backpacks, etc), fundraising is a great idea.
The league provides game jerseys, a full-season game schedule and an end-of-season tournament. Players and teams are responsible for their own balls, shoes, socks and protective gear (if required).
