Blueprint Basketball Club
|
Mission:
Blueprint Basketball is an AAU program to help develop players’ basketball skills and IQ. We will build 10-person teams for boys in grades 3-11 and girls in grades 9-11. Our program will compete in local tournaments as well as travel around the New England area. We want to make Vermont basketball strong across the state and, in doing so, we will be offering practices and training from March through November to develop stronger players throughout Essex and neighboring communities. Program Overview:
Blueprint Basketball teams will be coached by BJ Robertson and his staff of coaches. Each team will be capped at 10 players, and each player must be invited to join the team each year. Teams will practice twice a week from March through mid-November (with exceptions in August and school breaks) at either the Bellcate School's new facility, Essex High School, or Albert D. Lawton Middle School. Each team will attend 5-7 two-day tournaments over those months of practice. The tournaments we select to compete in will be chosen based on their distance from VT, level of competition, and amount/timing of recruiting exposure for our older teams.
