Club Teams
BLADE offers year-round basketball teams designed to cater to a wide range of skill levels and student-athletes in grades 2nd through 8th. Our teams actively participate in local leagues, including well-known venues like Sportsplex and FieldhouseUSA – Grapevine. In certain cases, we even venture into local AAU level tournaments, providing a diverse and competitive experience.
While we maintain an open registration policy, our commitment to providing the best experience for every child means that in the event of reaching maximum capacity in any grade, we will conduct a formal tryout to ensure the right fit for everyone.
