Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS TOP PERFORMANCE BASKETBALL?
Top Performance Basketball is primarily a player development program that participates in AAU tournaments.
OUR GOAL
Help prepare players to make their high school teams. We do this by helping players increase their basketball IQ alongside higher level skill work and work ethic thus learning to love the process of pushing yourself to do the work consistently. We can start this process as early as 4th grade where we hone in on fundamental skills so that more complex skills can be more easily attained.
IS TPB AN AAU TEAM?
Although our teams participate in AAU tournaments, we do not consider ourselves an AAU program. TPB's focus is developing the skills of every player to help increase their chances of making their school team.
IS TPB A YEAR-ROUND PROGRAM?
Yes, TPB operates year round. For Spring and Summer seasons, we have team practices and play in 3-12 games per month (depending on age group). We typically have two sessions per season running about 7-8 weeks.
CAN I COACH MY SON OR DAUGHTER?
No, unfortunately we have a policy where parents cannot coach their child. If you are interested in coaching we may have open positions for other teams or for skills training, etc.
I CAN'T COMMIT TO A FULL SESSION
If you make the team, but can't fully commit to the session, you can become an alternate. This means alternates participate in practices but not games. Alternates however can get invited to play in a game at the discretion of the program director.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS TO JOIN?
Fill out the Player Registration form (link on right side of this page). Attend a Skills Workout - check website calendar for upcoming dates. These are outdoor workouts that are 60 -90 minutes long and run by our trainer (space is limited and are subject to outdoor weather conditions). Skills Workouts are for new or returning players. Our trainer will assess a player’s skills and coachability during these Skills Workouts. Before a new season starts, our trainer will recommend players who are ready to attend the Team Skills Workouts (indoor courts) and will workout with the current team. At the end of the season results of players who made the team will be posted on the Bulletin Board under season (ex: winter) with next steps instructions.
