2027 USA BASKETBALL U.S. OPEN 12U TEAMS
Boys and Girls Global Competitive Teams
Not Another Basketball Team™ is actively recruiting 10/11 year old boys and girls for its U.S. Basketball and Global travel basketball teams. Not Another Basketball Team™ is not your traditional travel team. This team is founded on fundamental development and playing the game of basketball in a manner that promotes growth, development, and sustainable improvement - OFF and on the court.
Our student-athletes are not expected to obtain stellar performances on the court, they are expected to perform in the classroom and in their communities.
This comprehensive program requires a long-term commitment from the parents as well as the athletes to ensure the full results of the program are obtained. A large amount of resources and time are invested into this program and the return is expected to yield successful and polished participants that hold a high-level of confidence as they progress from one stage to the other.
Every effort will be made to keep these teams in tact through the summer of their high school junior year for amateur participation and each summer to participate in Pro-Am participation after their high school graduations to create continuity.
These teams will travel abroad each summer beginning with the summer of 2027 to Spain for 9-days to participate in (3) friendly games against European competition and sightseeing in Barcelona, Madrid, and Montserrat.
