Monthly Program

We are a little different that most other basketball clubs in that we do not host tryouts but instead athletes may join the program similar to monthly gym membership, but with no commitment.

We are simple, get athletes in the gym with their peers. Show up and participate when you can. When you need a break, take the month off.

Our Monthly Programming is designed so all athletes have the opportunity to continually develop and improve each time they step on the court with their peers. We understand many athletes are in different sports and need flexibility. That is where Panther Basketball Club comes in.

Our core program is a FLEX style program. The FLEX Program style allows for those unable to commit to a full set-roster-season an opportunity to still join a great basketball program to develop in the off-season.

Some of our athletes desire to compete more and have more opportunities to train. Given this desire offer additional options on top of our core FLEX Program, our PLUS Program.

Our PLUS Program is solely a way for athletes desiring to attend more tournaments and games, an opportunity to do so while still participating and competing with their peers in the FLEX program with classmates and peers. The PLUS program does not deviate from our core ideology of a FLEX program, which allows all our athletes to train together on a regular bases, but instead enhances an opportunity for athletes desiring to compete more a way to do so.

MONTHLY CORE PROGRAM - FLEX PROGRAM

This is our core program. All our athletes are in this program upon registering and joining the club. Our FLEX Program style is designed to bring together all our athletes. Both the ones that will be at all events, and the ones that do multiple sports and can only make 1 practice or tournament every now and then. For athletes that are in multiple sports, when you can make it, MAKE IT. When you cannot make a month, take that month off.

The design of this FLEX Program is so all our athletes see each other regularly in the gym. We want all our athletes training and improving together, along with having the opportunity to compete together in monthly tournaments.

Set Team / Set Roster

Our program is designed so that all our athletes interact and train/compete together. Fort those interested in a traditional off-season set team with set roster, please read below the PLUS Program opportunity we are introducing this year. Please also indicate this when registering. New this year we are offering, in addition to our Monthly FLEX Program, a PLUS Program to have a set roster and attend additional tournaments.

PLUS PROGRAM (**NEW THIS YEAR**)

Some of our athletes desire to play more than just 1 tournament per month. Those willing to commit to these extra tournaments now have an opportunity to do so through our PLUS Program.

Athletes in the PLUS program are athletes desiring to train and compete with all their peers in the FLEX Monthly Program and Monthly Tournaments. However they are also willing to commit to competing in 1 additional tournament per month with a set roster of additional PLUS Program athletes for the extra tournaments only. This PLUS program does not deviate from our core ideology of a FLEX program, but does allow all our athletes to still train together on a regular bases, while also enhances an opportunity for athletes desiring to compete more a way to do so.

Any questions on this we would love to answer so please ask.

The additional cost for participating in the PLUS Program and participating with a set roster is committing to one extra tournament cost per month for the spring/summer season. See the tournament page for more details or contact us.
