WHAT WE OFFER
We know what it takes to elevate a player's game. Our coaches have decades of experience coaching basketball on every level: youth, high school, and collegiate. We value the importance of taking the individual athlete’s game to the next level. The caliber and passion of our coaches is unparalleled, and it shows in the rapid pace of improvement our players experience.
We also know that today's sports culture often has a negative effect on our kids, and we want to help change that. Our heart is to train up each athlete to love the game and to live out the core values our program is built on: humility, maximum effort, enthusiasm, confidence, self-control, loyalty and forgiveness.

ATHLETES SERVED FROM THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITIES
"Ignite exists to help athletes grow in their knowledge of the game through teaching basketball concepts and functions that will increase their overall physical ability on the court and their basketball IQ. We value relationships and our coaches care about the players and their growth as athletes, but more importantly as young men and women. It is about competing and growing in their knowledge, not about wins and losses.”
Jana Balis, President
