Payment is collected via our site. If you prefer to pay with cash, check, or payment service please contact Coach Glennon for approval.
Payment will be broken up into 3. A deposit of $700 is to be made before the first practice. The remaining balance is to be collected every 3-4 weeks.
Teams will have a total of 8-10 players, depending on the age group. This is to ensure that all players get an adequate amount of practice and game experience. A practice player position can be made available. This decision will be made by head coaches based on a few factors.
Hotels are not provided by the team. A link will be shared by the head coach for discounted hotel stays. All bookings must be made by a parent/guardian. Players are welcome to plan and organize a joint stay, however coaches are not responsible for organizing.
Game schedules are normally released on Thursdays. Head coaches will email and/or text the schedule to parents and players once released.
We understand conflicts will arise and players are involved in multiple sports. With that said, we hope that players understand their commitment to the team and their teammates. A missed practice or game is okay, we just ask for a heads up ahead of time. If a player is making a habit of missing practices or games, the head coach has the right to restrict playing time during tournaments.
80% of games will be played in Chicago, in the west suburbs. Tournaments will also be played in Indiana and Wisconsin.
Practices will be broken up into skill work and team work. Each day will feature ~45 mins of individual skill work (i.e. footwork, shooting off the dribble, reading off-ball screens). Teams will also be introduced advanced offensive & defensive concepts while still furthering the development of each player.
These are individualized reports/conversations for each player. These will be an in-depth analysis of the players skill sets on categories such as shooting, finishing, ball-handling, on-ball defense, off-ball defense, etc. Each report is private and will not be shared with anyone but said player. The goal is to help each player fully understand their current strengths and weaknesses with guidance on potential growth opportunities and future roles within a team setting.
Yes! We have private and group training all spring and summer. Visit our Skills Training page for more information or contact Coach Glennon directly.
