TRAIN TO COMPETE

Identification: (Seasonal training and summer league)

The training to compete level is where it all starts. Players at this level will be focused on understanding the various functions and fundamentals of the game of basketball. We welcome newer players to come experience an encouraging and welcoming environment taught by experienced coaches who teach through explanation, demonstration, imitation and repetition. Fundamental training and game-based experiences are the primary focus with the goal to train each player to compete. At this level we focus on 4 main stages of training: Fundamentals, Technical, Strategy and Tactics. Players at this level would register for our camps and skill training identified for beginners. Train to compete players who are more at the top of this level are also welcome to compete in the Fire League and participate in At Your Hoop training. There are no tryouts or team selections in the Train to Compete level. The age range and skill level varies per experience and ranges from our earliest beginner athletes to our more beginner/intermediate players. Please see links below for details.

Ball-handling, shooting form, offensive movement, gameplay and more are covered in our camps. Find out more about an individual camp on the 'camps’ page.

The Fire League is 4v4 full-court competitive summer league that provides players structured freedom and more touches with the ball. Read the full description, including the benefits this format brings to players of all ages.

Ignite’s “At your Hoop” training was conceived during covid, when there was a shortage of gym space, but a SURPLUS of athlete’s wanting to work on their games!!! At Your Hoop is simple, grab a group of 4 or more friends and designate your own hoop or a local park as the host location. We will send a coach to you to run your group through an hour-long skills training workout, including lots of competitive mini-games. At Your Hoop will be available in the spring and throughout the summer!

Take your game to the next level through our professionally coached, high-energy player development training.
