Travel Season Details 3rd-8th:
We will be hand-selecting players from the neighboring communities such as Naperville, Oswego, Plainfield in the Southwest Suburbs for all of our Winter teams.
Teams will practice twice a week for an hour and a half with their head coach and also players will be able to attend a single one hour long skills practice each week with one of our skills trainers. Each of our teams will compete in 10 (2 Game) tournaments over the months of
Nov, Dec, Jan, and Feb.
Our season structure is based on a 3 to 1 ratio of practice to play. This model allows athletes to spend significantly more time developing core fundamentals, basketball IQ, confidence, and team chemistry rather than simply showing up to compete on weekends. We strongly believe long-term player development happens through consistent reps, quality coaching, and structured practice environments — not just games alone.
If your child is selected to play on one of our teams, a down payment will be required immediately to hold their spot. We will then collect the remaining fee prior to seasons start.
Program cost:
Grades 3rd/4th $1350 + $140 Uniform Fee For New Players
Grades 5th-8th $1500 + $140 Uniform Fee For New Players

When Choosing A Program - Ask Yourself:
-
What kind of attention are YOU getting?
-
WHAT ARE YOU PAYING FOR? HOW MANY HOURS ARE YOU IN THE GYM? (HOW IS IT SPENT?)
-
WHO ARE YOU IN THE GYM WITH?
-
Is it about the PLAYER? The coach? The program?
-
What kind of knowledge/philosophy is ACTUALLY being taught?
At Basketball Paradise, we take our coaching responsibility seriously; we assess talent objectively, treat everyone equally, and provide opportunities for those who commit fully to their personal development.
Standardized Philosophy for Development:
Our Mission:
To develop the PHYSICAL, MENTAL, & EMOTIONAL skills of our players for them to compete in this extremely athletic game. At Basketball Paradise, your child will be taught how to apply the developed skills.
Our System:
Designed to develop talent, not just win scoreboards. The objective is to provide instruction and opportunities for the child to MAKE plays.
Simply put, we believe in developing our players to MAKE PLAYS, not RUN PLAYS!
Emphasis on:
-
Teaching concepts - not robotic plays
-
Motion offenses - teaching spacing & floor balance
-
Man-to-Man Defense - teaching help side principles (NO ZONE DEFENSE)
