program INCLUDES

Two PRACTICES WEEKLY

These hour long Team Practices will be focused on skill development (Mondays) and offensive/defensive team strategies (Wednesdays). Attending practice is crucial to the development of each athlete.

Trueleague GAME Days

TrueLeague players will participate in inter-division games every Friday. In these games, athletes will develop strong team chemistry as well as give athletes the much needed competitive “game experience” to build their confidence.

PERSONALIZED PLAYER ASSESSMENTS

Each player will receive a player assessment that will break down their strengths and weaknesses. This assessment will come with a plan to develop holistically over time.

WHAT’S NEW IN THE TRUELEAGUE?

HERE’S WHAT HAS BEEN ADDED THIS SEASON TO MAXIMIZE athlete GROWTH AND YOUR EXPERIENCE!

Weekly Mental Skills Training Sessions
- Our 10-year partnership with NBA mental skills coach Graham Betchart has evolved to now offering LIVE “Palms Down” Zoom workouts available to our athletes every weekend. You will also have access to all sessions if you are unable to attend live. Enjoy occasional special guests like Aaron Gordon, Reid Travis, and John Jenkins.
Official Adidas Gear Partnership
- With our High School teams playing the Adidas 3SSB Circuit this season, we are excited that this partnership will bring NEW Adidas game uniforms to the TrueLeague.

TRueleague SELECT TEAMS

During the early stages of the Fall/Winter season, we will be monitoring and selecting 9-10 players from our oldest divisions to join our TrueLeague Select Team. The purpose of TrueLeague Select is to allow athletes to be exposed to the “AAU scene” and experience competition outside of the league. TrueLeague Select will take place for the 4th/5th and 6th-8th Grade divisions.

TrueLeague Select will play in multiple tournaments outside of the regular TrueLeague schedule and have opportunities to scrimmage against our very own “Black Club“ travel teams.

More information on TrueLeague Select after the season commences.

training opportunities

Individual skill development is one of the many areas where Team Esface excels compared to other basketball programs. We offer multiple training opportunities throughout the week for TrueLeague athletes to enhance their skills outside of team practices and games. Our flagship program, Transformation, is a four-week training program designed to provide athletes with personalized training in a private or small group setting. Additionally, TrueLeague Level Up are 60-minute skill development sessions held exclusively for TrueLeague athletes. Level Up offers a great opportunity for athletes to compete against their teammates and other TrueLeague members.
