Communication

Team schedules, availability, and important documents are all communicated through TeamSnap. Please make sure to download the app, subscribe to the calendar, and make sure emails are not going to junk. 

Team Formation

When forming teams, it's about more than just a player's talent level. The following factors are considered to find the right fit for each player:

• Player position, ie we can't have a team of all guards 
• Player's strengths on offense AND defense
• Amount of player experience 
• Leadership & team chemistry
• Personality & coach match
• Player & family availability and commitment level
• Player age. Teams can only have 2 grade level exemptions per team. 

 

Player Commitment

ProSkills aims to create teams to compete at a high level of competition and skill. It might not be the right fit for every player. We offer developmental  clinics for players that are looking to improve their skill level, learn more about the game of basketball and play at a recreation level. 

 

Skill and behavioral expectations are outlined on our website. Any player or parent found in violation of any behavior  guidelines will be asked to leave the club and no refunds will be given. 

Travel Team Time Commitment

Regular tournament participation is expected from Travel Tournament level players. While we know that occasional conflicts & vacations occur, we hope by providing the tournament schedule in advance, families will be able to plan their schedules. Only by having full commitment can our teams compete at the highest levels. 

Save the Date: Tournament, Saturday, May 25-Monday, May 27th,  San Diego

We are also finalizing plans for a tournament in Phoenix, Arizona between January-March. 

Players placed on black level travel teams are expected to prioritize their team over other sports and commitments by attending regular practice and tournaments.

All travel team players are expected to practice skills daily outside of practice.

Players will NOT be allowed to attend other practices due to scheduling conflicts. 

For all teams, attending team practices are required for team play. We do not accept players who only play tournaments.

ProSkills Stars- Girls Program

We are very excited about the inaugural season of our ProSkills Stars skill clinic and competitive teams. The teams will practice twice a week: one 90min team practice, one 75 min skill clinic.

The goal is to play one to two tournaments per month when the coaches feel the team is ready as well as attend both travel tournaments. 

 

Elementary Program

 

The goal of our elementary program is to introduce players to the world of competitive, high level basketball and build their love for the game.  

 

Elementary teams will have 2 practices per week (90 min practice and 75 min practice)

 

All players are expected to train outside of practices on ball handling, shooting, strength and conditioning and footwork. 

 

Middle School Program

 

Middle school teams will have 2 practices per week for 2 hours each practice. Teams may have additional time requirements for film sessions after tournaments. 

 

All players are expected to train outside of practices on ball handling, shooting, strength and conditioning and footwork. 

 

Players on our black teams are those that are committed to intensive training with the intention of starting their high school careers at the highest level as soon as possible. 

 

Our middle school teams will play in the tournaments and levels that give them the best chance of success as well as growth. 

 

8th grade High School Transition Program

Our 8th grade program will run September to March with the goal of preparing players to start practicing with high school teams in the spring.

Parent Code of Conduct

Trust the process. We have over  15 years of experience coaching and developing players. Our teams become small families and our players and parents form lasting friendships beyond basketball.

I hereby pledge to provide positive support, care, and encouragement for all children participating in the ProSkills Basketball program by following this Parents’ Code of Conduct.

• I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, and officials at every game or practice. I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my child ahead of my personal desire to win.
• I will support all program coaches and officials working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all. 
• I will ask my child to treat other players, coaches, fans, and officials with respect regardless of race, sex, or ability.
• I will remember that the game is for the players – not the adults.

Parent Rules of ProSkills Basketball

24 Hours Rule: If a parent is dissatisfied with a situation that occurs during practice or a game, it will not be discussed until 24 hours afterwards. This allows for a “cooling off” period as well as the discussion to be moved away from the players.

Off Limit Topics: Playing time or the skills of other players will not be up for discussion with the coach and should not be discussed with other parents. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should parents discuss the playing time or skills of a player in front of or directly to our youth players.

Coaching Time: Please be respectful of the coach’s time with the players before, during halftime, timeouts and after practices or games. Coaches are always available via email, call or text

Parent coaching during practice and games:  Parents are not allowed to coach their child during games. Please respect all coaches and let them do their job.
