What is the focus of the NM/TX Heat Elite Basketball Club?
As we enter into our fifth year as a club we have shifted our focus away from just playing as many games as possible, to focusing toward the fundamental skill development of our players in all divisions with the appropriate number of tournament games. To get a head start in the recruiting process we have found that college coaches start their evaluation process as young as the seventh and eighth grade! We need to be training our student athletes toward this collegiate goal incorporating strong fundamental training along with the highest level of competitive play. This understanding is apparent in all of our coaches as we are continually improving our knowledge base to aid in the athlete’s development. One of the flaws of the current club system is playing in so many games with so many travel days result in little time for practice, or for individual gym time where the needed skills are developed. Currently, player skill development is becoming less and less important in club basketball
