At Fusion School of Basketball, we strive to challenge and offer each student athlete the opportunity to improve their basketball skills and gain game experience. We take pride in developing well-rounded athletes while stressing academics, responsibility, accountability, fundamentals, teamwork, leadership, commitment, work ethic, respect and fair play that can apply both on and off the court. We welcome all serious basketball players who are committed and looking to get better both individually and in a team setting.
Fusion 6 month travel program runs from Sept – March
We place development FIRST and recognize that most athletes we encounter are not being taught proper fundamentals which isn’t giving them a fair chance to compete. We believe any athlete is capable as long as they are dedicated to the process and committed to showing up. We have put a 6-month travel program in place which includes a fall preseason (practice, training & clinics) and winter travel season (practice, skills & games). Upon completion of the fall preseason your athlete will automatically be placed on one of our winter travel teams.
Here are the requirements for making a Fusion winter travel team without having to tryout:
-
Must attend weekly travel practice this fall (Sept-Nov) Tuesday evenings between 6-9p
-
Must attend at least 1 additional fall clinic/week but can attend up to 2 (your choice from skills, infusion workouts, defend to score, get bucketz or small group training)
-
Accepting coach recommendations for your athlete if applicable. The coach may recommend personal training or an additional clinic to help with development this pre-season depending on current skill level.
-
Your athlete must attend a minimum of 2 workouts / week (can attend up to 3/week included with the 6 month program) for the full fall season (10 week) to meet our requirements. Upon completion of our fall preseason your athlete will be placed on a winter travel team appropriate for his skill level. Your athlete will still be required to show up to tryouts as we have to see all of the athletes together but your athlete will automatically have a spot on one of our teams.
Athlete must attend fall clinics on a consistent basis and display attentive behavior in order to complete our fall preseason program. Coaches have the right to deny a spot on a travel team any athlete that doesn’t meet these requirements.
